Move Fast with Minimal Changes Using Lift-and-Shift Migration.

Rehosting allows organizations to accelerate cloud adoption by transferring workloads in their current state. This “lift-and-shift” approach minimizes complexity, cost, and time to market while ensuring business continuity.

Rehosting Process We Follow

  • Discovery & Assessment

    Inventory all workloads, applications, and dependencies. Profile performance baselines, network traffic patterns, and storage I/O to define migration success criteria for each application.

  • Design & Plan

    Define the target cloud architecture, select appropriate instance types, configure VPC networking and security groups, and establish tested rollback procedures for every workload in scope.

  • Migration Execution

    Execute live replication or snapshot-based transfer of each workload to the target environment using automated migration tooling, maintaining service continuity throughout the process.

  • Validation & Testing

    Perform end-to-end application testing, network connectivity verification, performance benchmarking, and security policy validation against pre-agreed acceptance criteria before cutover.

  • Post-Migration Tuning

    Right-size instance configurations, optimise storage performance tiers, fine-tune autoscaling policies, and establish monitoring dashboards for ongoing operational visibility and cost governance.

Tools & Technologies We Use

  • AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
  • Azure Migrate: Server Migration
  • Google Cloud Migrate for Compute Engine
  • VMware vMotion
  • Rsync, SCP, and custom replication scripts

Enhancements Post-Rehosting

  • Enable auto-scaling & monitoring

  • Integrate with CI/CD pipelines

  • Implement basic HA & backup strategies

  • Plan future modernization (replatform/refactor)

Why Choose Last Cluster?

  • Automated migration toolchain combining AWS MGN, Azure Migrate, and VMware vMotion — the right tool selected per workload, not applied uniformly across all of them
