Overview
AWS Adoption Roadmap – Phase 1: Assessment We will work alongside your team to understand your Cloud migration readiness based on your current environment, operations, and planning.
-
First, we will identify where your organization falls on the typical Stages of Cloud Adoption: • Project (Stage 1) – You are early in your Cloud adoption readiness, with minimal or no AWS workloads, and little to no AWS expertise. • Foundational (Stage 2) – Your organization is moving towards AWS standards and has the start of a Cloud Center of Excellence / Enablement (CCoE), which drives minimal standards and operational practices. • Migration (Stage 3) – You are focused on a Cloud Migration strategy and application rationalization to help drive Cloud adoption and target hosting architecture. • Reinvention (Stage 4) – You are a mature Cloud organization, focused on continuous improvement and optimization of your Cloud solutions.
-
Next, we will uncover your organizational strengths, opportunities, and gaps regarding Cloud adoption planning, using the 6 perspectives of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework: • Business case identification and maturity. What are your organization drivers behind Cloud migration? What is your motivation for migrating? What are your KPIs and/or OKRs? • Application portfolio discovery and migration planning. Have you defined a structured and strategic cloud adoption backlog? Have you identified a migration roadmap? • Skills and Center of Excellence maturity. Do you have standard approaches across your organization? How much knowledge do you have about the tools, capabilities, and opportunities that exist? • Landing Zone Architecture. What does your current environment look like and what can it handle? Do you know what type of environment is needed to handle your workloads? • Operating Model. Do you know who is responsible for what? Have you defined a realistic and relevant budget? Do you have real-time monitoring for your workloads to identify issues, errors, breaches, or outages? What automation is currently implemented (if any)? • Security and Compliance. Have you established proper Cloud governance, IAM, or regulatory compliance? Are you protecting your data and infrastructure? What is currently in place to protect your workloads?
-
Last, CEI will collaborate with you to develop an action plan tailored to your organization’s needs, your current stage of adoption, and will identify opportunities for growth across the 6 perspectives of the Cloud Adoption Framework.
This Assessment is the first step towards advancing your organization’s Cloud adoption maturity. In most cases, the Assessment Phase will be completed in 2-6 weeks.
