From discovery to optimization: Four steps to cloud adoption
summary
Four concrete steps: inventory the whole portfolio with automated service mapping and continuous collection (not snapshots), sequence migrations by targeting low‑risk “long tail” apps first, validate post‑move costs with Optima spend management and reclaim sprawl (example: an audit of 16,000 servers finds >1,000 to shut down), then codify templates, governance and orchestration via a cloud management platform; right‑sizing yields the biggest savings (reported ~68%) and reserved instances come later.
