Replatforming
Moving a system to a new platform while keeping most of it unchanged
What's it for?
Moves an application to a different platform while making only limited changes to the application itself.
For example…
An old application moves to managed cloud services with few code changes
A company replatforms an application from self-managed virtual machines to a managed container service while leaving most of the application code unchanged
Think of it like…
Moving house and upgrading the wiring and kitchen layout, but keeping the same furniture
