This document outlines the typical lifecycle and process for moving an automotive manufacturing company's infrastructure to the cloud. It involves an initial assessment of existing on-premise servers, storage, software and networks, presenting a business case and solution proposal, negotiating an agreement, migrating resources, and then sustaining the cloud infrastructure. It also provides an overview of cloud infrastructure options and indicative resourcing costs for roles like architects, business analysts, and delivery managers to support the transition.
