Explanation
A 'lift-and-shift' migration moves infrastructure to the cloud but leaves applications in their original form - you get some cost and agility benefits, but not the full value of the cloud. Modernizing applications (re-architecting for microservices, serverless, managed databases, CI/CD pipelines, etc.) unlocks the real ROI: faster releases, auto-scaling, reduced operational burden, and the ability to use advanced cloud-native services like AI/ML. Option A (manually provisioning) is the opposite of agility and efficiency. Option C (lowering SLOs) would hurt the product, not help ROI. Option D (moving back to hybrid/on-premises) reverses the migration and reintroduces the overhead they just escaped.
