AWS Cloud Adoption Framework Assessment

The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework Assessment from LSD Open helps organisations align business strategy, operating models, and technology platforms to successfully adopt Amazon Web Services.

Many organisations are planning cloud adoption or scaling existing environments but lack alignment across business, governance, and technical domains. This engagement provides a structured assessment of organisational readiness and defines the capabilities required to support cloud transformation.

Using the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework, LSD Open evaluates organisations across six perspectives: business, people, governance, platform, security, and operations. Through workshops, stakeholder interviews, and capability benchmarking, we assess cloud maturity and identify organisational and technical gaps.

The engagement delivers a prioritised AWS cloud adoption roadmap that outlines the initiatives required to support migration, modernisation, platform engineering, and AI workloads.

Key outcomes include:

• Assessment of cloud maturity across the six AWS CAF perspectives
• Identification of organisational, governance, and technical capability gaps
• A prioritised AWS cloud adoption roadmap aligned to business objectives
• Recommended AWS landing zone and architecture patterns
• Clear next steps for migration, modernisation, and platform engineering

The assessment supports adoption of AWS services including Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, AWS Identity and Access Management, AWS Organisations, AWS Control Tower, Amazon EKS, and AWS Well Architected tools.

This engagement is typically used as the foundation for migration readiness assessments, landing zone implementation, and cloud migration and modernisation programmes.
