Lift and Shift Methodology : An approach using velostrata

Lift and Shift, also known as “rehosting” is a migration process where the main objective is to move a workload (and its associated data) to the Cloud with zero or minimal changes to the application architecture. Applications are “lifted» from the existing environment and “shifted as-is” to the cloud, without significant changes in architecture, data, or authentication mechanisms.

In this guide, we will discuss how choosing a methodology for the migration process is a key step in any migration
plan. The Lift and Shift approach is one of the fastest, least complex ways, with fewer risks and associated costs of migrating to the cloud, however, a solid strategy that is aligned with the organisation’s objectives is necessary, guaranteeing the use of the most appropriate tools and therefore the effectiveness of the methodology

You can find a short introduction and explanation on how Applications are “lifted» from the existing environment and “shifted as-is” to the cloud, without significant changes in architecture, data, or authentication mechanisms.
