Lift and shift migration to the cloud: What is it and when is it worth it?

Moving IT infrastructure to the cloud is the future of almost every company. This process can seem extremely costly in both time and resources. However, if you choose the right strategy and method, migrating to the cloud doesn't have to be difficult at all and will bring invaluable benefits to your business. One of the easiest and cheapest ways to migrate your infrastructure is to move it from your existing on-premises environment to the cloud with little or no changes to applications and systems. This process is called the "Lift and Shift" approach.
