This document discusses using the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) to help organizations successfully migrate to the cloud. It outlines the stages of adoption as foundation, migration, and optimization. It also discusses how the CAF addresses concerns across business, people, governance, platform, security, and operations. The CAF provides guidance to align an organization's capabilities with stakeholder needs at each stage. It can help organizations develop a structured approach to cloud adoption and "cross the chasm" to full optimization.
