Explain the concept of 'Rehosting' in the context of migration strategies.

• Rehosting means moving applications to on-premises servers instead of the cloud.

• Rehosting is a migration strategy that involves moving applications to the cloud with minimal changes, often called 'lift and shift'.

• Rehosting involves completely rewriting applications for the cloud.

• Rehosting is a strategy that requires extensive changes to application architecture.

What does 'Refactoring' mean in AWS migration strategies?

• Refactoring involves simply copying applications to the cloud without changes.

• Refactoring means reducing the cost of cloud services by minimizing resources.

• Refactoring is the process of deleting unnecessary applications from the cloud.

• Refactoring means re-architecting applications to optimize them for cloud environments.

Describe the 'Retire' strategy in AWS migration.

• The 'Retire' strategy involves decommissioning applications and services that are no longer needed.

• The 'Retire' strategy involves migrating applications to a different cloud provider.

• The 'Retire' strategy is about enhancing application performance through optimization.
