Rehost

Retain Rehost
• Also know as “lift-and-shift.”
Retire
Applications are brought to AWS Cloud,

Repurchase

Repurchase
Retain
• Application is moved as a software as a
Retire service (SaaS) platform that replaces all
components of an application and
Relocate assumes management tasks for the
application infrastructure.
Rehost
• Think of this as moving an application to
Repurchase a different product.

Replatform Amazon Connect, or a Citrix application
to Amazon WorkSpaces.
