In this episode, we introduce the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF), a comprehensive framework that helps organizations navigate their cloud adoption journey. AWS CAF provides a structured approach for addressing the people, process, and technology changes required for a successful migration to the cloud. We’ll break down each of the six perspectives within the CAF—business, people, governance, platform, security, and operations—and explain how they align to ensure smooth cloud adoption. Understanding this framework is crucial for organizations to successfully integrate AWS into their business operations and maintain long-term success in the cloud.

We’ll also cover key migration strategies that can help streamline your transition to AWS. From the "Rehost" (Lift-and-Shift) to the "Replatform" (Lift, Tinker, and Shift) strategy, each approach has its benefits depending on your organization’s specific needs and goals. We’ll explain the tools and services AWS offers to support your migration, such as AWS Migration Hub and AWS Database Migration Service. By the end of this episode, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to develop a cloud migration plan that aligns with AWS best practices.
