Re-Hosting is the most straightforward cloud migration path. It means that you lift applications, virtual machines, and server operating systems from the current hosting environment to public cloud infrastructure without any changes. It is a low resistance migration methodology that prescribes picking up an application as an image that could be exported via migration tools like VM Import or CloudEndure to a container run on the public cloud. You should be aware that its quick win comes with a drawback: limited use of cloud efficiencies. Simply rehosting an application workload in the public cloud doesn’t utilise cloud-native features, such as efficient CI/CD automatization, monitoring systems, automated recovery and self-healing, containerized environments, or open-source compatible services. However, you will still be able to reduce efforts spent on system administration and gain some time to refocus technologists on solving business problems and product optimization. This cloud migration type can also be a starting point for large scale optimization projects when organisations are looking to shift their on-premise infrastructure in a short period of time.
