CAF Migration Strategy Decision Tree

The selection process depends heavily on the workload's characteristics and its readiness for the cloud. For instance, a legacy application with complex dependencies but a need for a fast move might be a candidate for rehost using tools like Azure Migrate. An application needing minor code changes to better use cloud scaling features would fit the refactor pattern. A fundamentally new cloud-native design is needed for the rearchitect pattern. This mapping balances migration speed, cost, and long-term operational benefits.
