As organizations continue their digital transformation journeys, migrating on-premise systems to the cloud is becoming a top priority. The cloud offers scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency that are often difficult to achieve with traditional, on-premise infrastructure. As a leading cloud provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has facilitated countless successful migrations, supporting various strategies to ensure seamless transitions. The “Lift-and-Shift” and “Re-engineering” approaches are the most popular among these strategies. Each has unique benefits and challenges, making the decision highly dependent on an organization’s needs, current system complexity, and future growth plans.
