Question:
Our primary objective is to identify apps that are good candidates for public cloud (Azure) and also provide evidence for apps that should remain on-premise. Any tips to ensure our assessment stays focused on these two priorities?
Answer:
- We recommend the following,
- All devices to be licensed are accessible (O/S access is required; VMware access is optional)
- Remediation should be a priority pre and post license phases (This ensures the data collected from devices is useful)
- Application questionnaire or equivalent CMDB data be provided (provides better outcomes when creating application stacks)
- Do not concentrate solely on the visualization and IaaS public cloud pricing of the application stacks. We provide more connection data which assist in understanding the entire environment.
