16. The Cloud provides new
solutions, and challenges
• The move to the cloud comes with
four main routes:
– Rehosting (lift & shift) –
New platform, same design
– Replatforming (lift & reshape) –
New platform, updating design
– Repurchasing (replace) –
Entirely new platform / SaaS
– Refactoring (rewriting) –
Redevelop architecture for new platform
• Each option has pros and cons, each with
business drivers typically pushing on either
application enhancement or cost savings
