Every Company has a unique adoption journey

But, there are basic questions on the journey

What skills and

capabilities are

required?

How to compose

migration team?

How to structure

cloud programs?

How to ensure

quality of delivery?

Customers are asking us for the

high-level enterprise-wide

organizing logic for mapping their

business needs to IT capabilities,

reflecting the agility, integration and

standardization changes that cloud

computing brought to IT industry.

Strategic relationships are opening-

up new set of questions, requiring

AWS to demonstrate delivery

capability, technology insight, and

practical business value to our

customers.

Will risk increase?

Can we run cloud

secure and

compliant?

What are the

priorities?

When to deliver

solutions?

How to design

foundations?

How to migrate

workloads?

What are key ops

capabilities?

What is the new

ITSM cycle?

Why to invest?

Why change?

How to measure

success?

The AWS CAF organizes and

describes the perspectives in

planning, creating, managing, and

supporting a modern IT service.

Offers practical guidance and

comprehensive guidelines for

establishing, developing and running

AWS cloud-enabled environments.

It provides a structure where

business and IT can work together

towards common strategy and vision,

supported by modern IT automation

and process optimization.

Maturity PerspectiveCAF

Maturity Perspective

Maturity model helps customers with

structured, systematic assessment

and planning of capability maturity,

defining the most optimal map

towards effective use of cloud

computing.

Focus of maturity perspective

components is on consistent

implementation towards more secure,

well-managed and cost-optimized

cloud-based IT capabilities.

IT Management

Assessment

• Conduct application

discovery workshop

• Interview application

owners

• Implement tool-based

discovery

• Profiling application

inventory

• Identifying

complexity, criticality

and preferences

• Clustering and

prioritizing

• Driven by

prioritization, skills

and best practices

• Use best patterns

• Capture inter-

dependencies

• From “lift and shift” to

“drop and shop”

• Expect complete IT

transformation

• Include IT process

changes and

organizational

change management

• Focus on new

Operations model

Application portfolio assessment

Collecting application

portfolio inventory

Defining segmentation

and prioritization criteria

Determining application migration options

Creating application migration roadmap

• Semi-automated process with

automation rate improving with

experience

• Combination of AWS and partner

tooling with best practices and

custom questionnaires

• Requires light participation/

workshops with business

application owners

• Ranking is specific for each

customer/environment, but is

based on standard AWS approach

Information collected:

• Name of the app, technical owner, business owner

• Number of systems: direct (exclusive), indirect

(dependent), non-prod (dev-test)

• Infrastructure desc (network, ports/protocols,

security, virtualizer, directory, OS)

• Information desc (database, data classification, data

exchange)

• App desc (app framework, middleware used, web tier

used, dev language)

Automation tools:

• RISC Network – CloudScape

• ScienceLogic – CloudMapper

• ServiceNow – Service Watch

• Blue Stripe - FactFinder

Application discovery and collection

Business criticality (frequency of use, size of user base, supported business process)

• Deriving consequence factor of failure

Technology complexity (dependencies, fragility, understandability of the app)

• Deriving probability of failure

Sizing (how many systems, data volumes, storage size, other volumetric

requirements)

• Deriving effort of migration

HA/DR/BCP (continuity plans, availability requirements, backup/restore requirements)

• Deriving pre- and post-migration effort (cost of support and keeping the app current)

Takeaways

• Cloud adoption is a Journey

• A Migration requires a structured approach to assure consistent value realization

• Application migration is just a piece of large-scale Cloud Adoption, Do not over-analyze and over-design

• use optimization cycle to iterate

• The Cloud Adoption Framework helps you build the right “map”
