accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.

3. What is the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework?

4. The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) helps
organizations understand how cloud adoption
transforms the way they work. It leverages our
experiences assisting organizations around the
world with their Cloud Adoption Journey.

5. AWS CAF is not specific to any one cloud provider,
but heavily leverages AWS Experiences.
AWS CAF is not specific to AWS ProServe. It can
be directly used by customers or directly used by
partners.
AWS CAF contains no ”secret sauce”– what we
know we are willing to share.

6. CAF begins by identifying the stakeholders that are
critical to cloud adoption. It groups related
stakeholders into 6 Perspectives. The Perspectives
allow us to understand Cloud Adoption from the
view of those stakeholders.

8. Each Perspective identifies a set the stakeholder’s
capabilities that transform with cloud adoption.

9. With each capability we identify what skills and what
processes will transform with cloud adoption.
And most important, how we can help them with this
transformation.
