It may involve making code changes while ensuring that the external behavior of your application remain unaltered. For example, if your application utilizes a lot of resources, it may increase your cloud billing. So, redesigning your application for optimal resource utilization is required before migrating to cloud. Refactoring is done so that you can have maximum leverage of the benefits of cloud native environment. Refactoring may be a time and resource consuming activity but it has multiple benefits like&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Long term reduction in cost \u2013 Refactoring helps to match resource&nbsp;consumption&nbsp;of applications with their demand, thereby eliminating waste and reducing cost. It helps drive better ROI on your applications in the long term than other applications which are less cloud native&nbsp;<\/li><li>Higher resilience- With refactoring, the application starts inheriting the resilience built in cloud&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Auto scaling- Refactoring may be done to leverage the cloud autoscaling capabilities with
