The inspection app keeps most of its code but swaps self-managed MySQL for a provider-managed database. Which migration strategy best describes this?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Replatform is a light remodel — keep the house layout, swap the furnace for a managed one. Most code stays; MySQL becomes a provider-managed database. That mid-step between pure lift-and-shift and a full rewrite is replatform.
Full Explanation
Replatforming makes limited cloud-oriented changes — such as moving to a managed database — without a full redesign. Preserving most application code while replacing self-managed MySQL with a provider-managed service is a textbook replatform. Pure rehost would keep self-managed MySQL on VMs; retire and retain do not move the database service model forward.
