Explanation
A lift-and-shift migration strategy is often justified when the application is incompatible with the cloud environment, such as the operating system (OS) or underlying infrastructure, and reconfiguring or refactoring the application is not feasible or supported by the vendor. In this case, the business analyst may opt for the lift-and-shift approach to quickly migrate the application to the cloud without having to modify the application itself, especially if the OS is incompatible and vendor support is unavailable for refactoring.
