Migrate to AWS at Easy with Relocate Migration Strategy
Reap the benefits of the cloud by migrating to AWS, IT infrastructure can be significantly improved while costs are decreased. Careful planning, evaluation of a variety of readily available migration strategy, and implementation are the first steps in every successful AWS journey.
In contrast to the other migration options, relocation doesn't require any changes to the underline infrastructure itself, VMotion kind for Virtual Machine\Container and its format will remain the same. Applications that are not well suited for the cloud or that are not yet ready to be refactored or repurchased may benefit from this as an option.
For example, you might choose to relocate an application to AWS if:
- An application that requires a lot of custom hardware or software requirement.
- The application is not ready to be refactored or repurchased, such as an application that is still in development or that is critical to your business.
- You want to pilot migration before Modernization (refactor) the application in the cloud.
Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between the 7Rs migration options:

Migration option | Description | Benefits | Drawbacks |
Rehost (lift and shift) | Move the application to the cloud without making any changes. | Simple and easy to implement. | Migration waves need to be carefully planned. |
Relocate (hypervisor-level lift and shift | Move the application to the cloud, but change the underlying Hardware. | Can improve performance and scalability. | More costly to implement. |
Replatform (lift and reshape) | Move the application to the cloud and make changes to the platform it's running on. | Can improve performance and scalability. | More complex to implement. |
Refactor/re-architect | Rearchitect the application to take advantage of cloud-native features. | Can offer significant cost savings and performance improvements. | Requires more time and effort to implement. |
Repurchase (drop and shop) | Replace the application with a cloud-based version. | Can offer significant cost savings and performance improvements. | Requires a new application. |
Retire | End-of-life the application. | Eliminates all costs associated with the application. | May require data migration or application replacement. |
Retain (revisit) | Keep the application on-premises. | No migration costs. | May not be able to take advantage of cloud-based features and services. |
