The document discusses workload suitability assessment for cloud migration. It describes a customer journey from early adoption to enterprise cloud computing. It evaluates workloads across several domains including business, financial, technical and functional to determine suitability. Key factors include discovery effort, migration effort, workforce expertise, vendor lock-in and more. The assessment is done using a tool called Aura which collects inputs to provide recommendations.

4. Selecting a target hosting model needs multiple considerations
Discovery Effort – Low in IaaS and SaaS, and can use
standard traditional approaches of Server and Application
discovery.
Migration Effort – Low in IaaS and SaaS. Very high for
Cloud Native applications as it requires refactoring and
rewrite.
Workforce Expertise – High skillset requirement for Cloud
Native and Cloud Enabled applications. Automation can be
used to migrate to IaaS. Migration to SaaS can use
approaches provided by the software vendor.
Vendor Lock-in – Cloud enabled applications have high
degree of vendor lock-in
Migration Automation – Very high in IaaS. Possibility of
migration automation is low in Cloud Native applications.
Cloud Performance / ROI – High in cloud native and cloud
enabled.
DevOps / CI-CD – High in cloud native and cloud enabled

5. How do we qualify suitable workload loads for Cloud ?
Suitability assessment for workload migration
to cloud is done using four domains of
analysis –
• Business – Assess business suitability of application and
services for cloud migration
• Financial – Assess financial ROI for application and
services migration to cloud
• Technical – Assess technical feasibility for application
and services migration to cloud
• Functional – Assess application functional feasibility for
migration to cloud
