Every company is a software company. You have to start
thinking and operating like a digital company. It’s no longer just
about procuring one solution and deploying one. It’s really you,
yourself, thinking of your own future as a digital company.

14. Cloud migration strategies
Rehost
Rearchitect
Refactor
Rebuild
Often referred to as “lift and shift” migration, this no-code option lets you migrate your existing applications to Azure
quickly. Each application is migrated as-is, which provides the benefits of the cloud without the risks or costs of making code
changes, and you can leverage SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines, Microsoft’s infrastructure as a service (IaaS) product, to
achieve that.
Often referred to as repackage, this cloud migration strategy involves some change to the application design but no wholesale
changes to the application code. Your application can take advantage of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS)
products, such as Azure App Service, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and containers.
Modify or extend your application's code base to scale and optimize it for the cloud. Modernize your app into a resilient, highly
scalable, independently deployable architecture and use Azure SQL Database, Microsoft’s platform as a service (PaaS) offering, to
accelerate the process, scale applications with confidence, and manage your apps with ease.
Rebuild an application from scratch using cloud-native technologies. Azure platform as a service (PaaS) provides a complete
development and deployment environment in the cloud, without the expense and complexity of software licenses, the need for underlying
application infrastructure, or middleware and other resources. With this cloud migration strategy, you manage the applications and services
you develop, and Azure manages everything else.
