1-Retire — Get rid of
Remove the applications that are no longer needed, or causing security risk because it is not supported any more.
2-Retain — “revisit” or do nothing
keep the applications that are not ready to migrate.
3-Rehost — lift-and-shift
move the applications to cloud without making any changes to them.
4-Relocate — hypervisor-level lift and shift
Move infrastructure to the cloud without purchasing new hardware, rewriting applications, or modifying. This migration scenario is specific to VMware Cloud on AWS.
5-Repurchase — drop and shop
commonly a move to a SaaS platform. Moving a CRM to Salesforce.com, an HR system to Workday, a CMS to Drupal, and so on.
6-Replatform — lift and reshape
move the application to the cloud and take advantage of the cloud optimization and capabilities. For example, replatform a Microsoft SQL Server database to Amazon RDS for SQL Server.
7-Refactor/re-architect
Re-imagine how the application is architected and developed using cloud-native features. Example: Migrate on-premises Oracle database to the Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition.
