Learning Objectives: - Understand the six focus areas of the AWS CAF including Business, People, Governance, Platform, Security, and Operations Perspectives - Understand the various stakeholders and what they own in the cloud adoption journey - Understand how to create an action plan for your organization Adopting Amazon Web Services (AWS) presents many benefits, such as increased business agility and flexibility, as well as reduced costs. However, in order to fully realize these benefits your staff may need to acquire new skills and create or update core processes. Doing so can maximize the business value and minimize the business risks of cloud adoption. The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) helps organizations understand how cloud adoption transforms the way they work, and it provides structure to identify and address gaps in skills and processes. In this webinar, you will learn how to apply the AWS CAF in your organization to create an actionable plan with defined work streams that can guide your organization’s path to cloud adoption. This framework leverages our experiences and best practices in assisting organizations around the world with their cloud adoption journey.

Moving to the AWS Cloud: An
Overview of the AWS Cloud
Adoption Framework

2. All change, even a change for the
better, is always accompanied by
drawbacks and discomforts.
- Arnold Bennett

3. This session is focused on minimalizing those
drawbacks and discomforts so you can rapidly
transform your business with cloud.

4. What is the AWS Cloud
Adoption Framework?

5. The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) helps
organizations understand how cloud adoption
transforms the way they work. It leverages our
experiences assisting organizations from every
segment and every geography with their Cloud
Adoption Journey.

6.  AWS CAF is not specific to any one cloud provider, but
heavily leverages AWS experiences.
 AWS CAF is not restricted to AWS use. It can be directly
used by customers or directly used by AWS Partner
Network partners.
 AWS CAF contains no “secret sauce”– what we know
we are willing to share.
 AWS CAF helps you create an Action Plan tailored to
your organization’s needs.

8. 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.

9. The Six CAF Perspectives

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

11. With each capability we identify what skills and what
processes will transform with cloud adoption.
And most important, how to create a plan to address gaps.

48. Step 1. Identify your challenge and desired outcome

49. Step 2. Use the “Common Roles” and
Capabilities to identify the stakeholders

50. Step 3. Determine the questions, challenges and concerns
from the stakeholders. Write them down.

51. Step 4. Determine if the concern is remediated via the
development of new skills or via the creation, update or
integration of processes.

52. Step 5. Document those activities and the
stakeholder in the action plan.

53. Step 6. Prioritize the actions you will
undertake in the next 2-4 weeks.
