A company's finance department uses a legacy accounting system that is stable, meets all regulatory compliance requirements, and is not a candidate for cloud migration at this time due to high migration costs and no compelling business driver. The IT manager decides to leave the system running on-premises. Which of the following application migration strategies does this decision represent?
The 'Retain' strategy involves making a conscious decision to keep an application in its current environment, often because it meets business and regulatory needs and the cost or effort of migration is not justified. 'Rehost' (lift-and-shift) involves moving the application to the cloud with minimal changes. 'Replatform' involves making some optimizations for the cloud environment, and 'Refactor' (or re-architect) involves significantly rebuilding the application for the cloud. Since the decision is to leave the system as-is on-premises, 'Retain' is the correct strategy.
