A cloud systems administrator needs to migrate several corporate applications to a public cloud provider and decommission the internal hosting…

Lift and shift is a cloud migration strategy that involves moving an application or workload from one

environment to another without making significant changes to its architecture, configuration, or

code. This approach is suitable for applications that are not cloud-native, have complex

dependencies, or have tight deadlines for migration. Lift and shift can help reduce the cost and risk of

maintaining legacy infrastructure, improve scalability and availability, and leverage cloud services

and features12.

Hybrid deployment is a cloud deployment model that involves using both public and private cloud

resources to deliver services and applications. This approach is suitable for applications that have

varying performance, security, or compliance requirements, or that need to integrate with existing

on-premises systems. Hybrid deployment can help optimize the use of resources, increase flexibility

and agility, and balance trade-offs between cost and control34.

Phased migration is a cloud migration strategy that involves moving an application or workload from

one environment to another in stages or increments. This approach is suitable for applications that

have modular components, low interdependencies, or high complexity. Phased migration can help

reduce the impact of migration on business operations, test the functionality and performance of

each component, and address any issues or challenges along the way .

Rip and replace is a cloud migration strategy that involves discarding an application or workload from

one environment and replacing it with a new one in another environment. This approach is suitable

for applications that are outdated, incompatible, or inefficient, or that have high maintenance costs.

Rip and replace can help modernize the application architecture, design, and code, improve the user

experience and functionality, and take advantage of cloud-native features and services .
