Explanation

A question asking which two are included in the migration strategies (the 7 Rs).

  • 1the 7 RsOne of Rehost / Replatform / Repurchase / Refactor / Retire / Retain / Relocate
AIncorrect

Reduction

"Reduction" is not one of the names in the 7 Rs.

It does not exist among the official migration Rs, so this is incorrect.

BCorrect

Retire

This is correct. Retire is one of the 7 Rs, a strategy that decommissions applications that are no longer needed. It narrows down what to migrate and reduces wasted cost.

CIncorrect

Reboot

"Reboot" is a general term that means restarting, and it is not one of the migration Rs.

It does not exist among the 7 Rs, so this is incorrect.

DIncorrect

Rename

"Rename" is a general term that means changing a name, and it is not one of the migration Rs.

It does not exist among the 7 Rs, so this is incorrect.

ECorrect

Rehost

This is correct. Rehost is one of the 7 Rs, a "lift and shift" strategy that moves an application onto AWS almost unchanged.

Key Takeaway

The 7 Rs = Rehost / Replatform / Repurchase / Refactor / Retire / Retain / Relocate. Similar-sounding words such as Reduction, Reboot, and Rename are traps.
