The city lifts permitting VMs to cloud IaaS with almost no code change to exit aging hardware quickly. Which migration strategy is this?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Lift-and-shift is moving the furniture as-is into a new apartment so you can leave a leaking building fast. VMs to IaaS with almost no code change is rehost. Save the big remodel (re-architect/refactor) for later if speed off old hardware is the goal.
Full Explanation
Rehost, often called lift-and-shift, relocates workloads to cloud infrastructure with little or no application redesign. It prioritizes speed and hardware exit over immediate cloud-native optimization. Re-architect and refactor imply substantial structural or code change; retire abandons the system rather than moving it.
