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

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
