Rehosting and relocating involve transferring applications and data storages to the cloud or another cloud with minimal to no changes, while not fully utilizing cloud-native features. Refactoring, re-architecting, and rebuilding involve varying degrees of modification to optimize applications or data storage systems for the cloud, from minor adjustments to a complete redesign using using advanced cloud services.

*What environments are you planning to have in the cloud?

*How many clouds are you planning to use?

Do you need to build an efficient CI/CD process after the migration?

Do you plan to implement cloud strategies for high availability, fault tolerance, scalability and disaster recovery?
