AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 573

A company is planning to migrate applications to the AWS Cloud. During a system audit, the company finds that its content management system (CMS) application is incompatible with cloud environments.

Which migration strategies will help the company to migrate the CMS application with the LEAST effort? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Retire
• B. Rehost
• C. Repurchase
• D. Replatform
• E. Refactor

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Repurchase (C) is a low-effort strategy because it allows the company to transition to a cloud-compatible CMS or SaaS solution without modifying the legacy codebase. Rehost (B) is also a low-effort option that involves lifting and shifting the workload to the cloud with minimal to no modifications, which is ideal when looking for a fast migration path. In contrast, Replatform (D) and Refactor (E) require code modifications or architectural changes, demanding significantly more effort and time.
