Rehosting
Rehosting is also called lift-and-shift.
It is a process of moving applications without making any changes to them.
Replatforming
Replatforming is also called lift, tinker and shift.
It is a process of moving applications with cloud optimizations.
Refactoring
Refactoring is also called re-architecting.
It is a process of changing the application foundation/core and/or environment.
It helps with application scaling, performance, and further development.
Repurchasing
Repurchasing is a process of changing business type.
It moves your application to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model from a traditional model.
Retaining
Retaining involves keeping crucial business applications.
It could include applications that require refactoring before migration.
Retiring
It is a process of removing unnecessary applications.
