Why each option
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is the cloud service model that provides virtualized computing resources, such as virtual machines, networks, and storage, making it ideal for "lift and shift" migrations where existing on-premises applications and operating systems are moved to the cloud with minimal changes.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides the fundamental computing, networking, and storage resources in the cloud, allowing organizations to "lift and shift" their existing virtual machines and applications from on-premises environments directly into the cloud without needing to re-architect them.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure through code, not a cloud service model, and while it can be used *with* IaaS, it doesn't define the service model for migration.
Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers complete, ready-to-use applications over the internet, which is typically for consuming existing software, not migrating custom on-premises servers and applications in a "lift and shift" manner.
A Software-Defined Network (SDN) is an architectural approach to networking that allows dynamic, programmatic network configuration, which is a technology but not a cloud service model for migrating servers.
