Rehost, or "lift and shift," allows for the swift migration of applications and database workloads to the AWS cloud (typically Amazon EC2) without requiring modifications.

This ensures minimal disruption and downtime while quickly unlocking cloud benefits such as scalability and cost savings.

Replatform, or "lift, optimize, and shift" migrates applications and database workloads to the cloud using Amazon EC2 and RDS, applying targeted optimizations to leverage cloud-native features, improve performance, and reduce licensing costs, all without significant architectural changes.

Refactor involves modernizing applications and database workloads for cloud-native functionality, improving scalability, performance, and maintainability. Components are redesigned to fully utilize cloud services and allow transitioning from legacy technology to modern, open-source solutions like PostgreSQL.

Data modernization readies applications and infrastructure for compatibility with advanced cloud services such as Amazon Redshift, Bedrock, OpenSearch, and Neptune, optimizing data and applications to support enhanced analytics, automation, and customized solutions.
