The Cloud Readiness Assessment tool is a self-guided checklist designed to help organizations evaluate their preparedness for transitioning to the cloud. It assists in transforming a general idea of cloud migration into a detailed roadmap, outlining the necessary steps and the order in which they should occur.

Pre-migration planning is crucial because it lays the groundwork for a successful cloud transition. It helps organizations identify their objectives, categorize workloads, and establish a cloud operating model, ensuring that the migration is aligned with their strategic goals and that potential challenges are addressed beforehand.
