There are several strategies for migrating to the cloud, each catering to diverse migration needs.   Lift-and-Shift involves moving existing infrastructure to the cloud with minimal changes Re-platforming refines applications to partially leverage cloud benefits Re-architecting transforms applications to maximize cloud-native advantages Re-purchasing replaces on-premises software with cloud-based solutions Retaining involves postponing migration for certain applications Retiring entails removing obsolete components.   These strategies differ in complexity, time investment, and optimization level, allowing organizations to tailor their approach based on the desired balance between rapid migration and harnessing cloud-native features.
