Your organization is moving to the cloud—

5. What (companies) really want is an end-to-end portfolio analysis
and looking at all their workloads:
• which ones are easy to move to cloud
• which ones are medium-hard to move
• which ones should go last because of dependency and legacies
• which ones can easily be lifted and shifted
• which ones should be rearchitected before the move to the cloud
They’re looking for help doing those portfolio assessments.
– ANDY JASSY, AWS CEO
