A detailed guide from Microsoft
The Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) is a comprehensive, well-defined approach designed to make your migration to Azure as smooth as possible — from your initial strategy to the ongoing management of your cloud environment. Microsoft developed this framework based on real-life success stories from well-known organizations and the advice of experts within their network.
In addition, the framework also offers a whole range of tools, templates, and other resources to support your cloud adoption. But what does that look like exactly?
The CAF is not just a linear step-by-step plan, with a clear sequence. It is also a flexible model. You have the freedom to initiate certain phases simultaneously and have them run alongside each other. This way, you can, for example, work on your adoption strategy and prepare your colleagues for the migration at the same time.
In this way, Microsoft wants to provide a scalable solution, which you can completely customize. A kind of personalized guide. One that guarantees the success of your cloud journey. And gives you the space to fill in the details yourself.
Migrating to the cloud, Arxus-style
When we start a migration journey, we largely base our approach on Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework. But we certainly don't just adopt it blindly. We make it our own thing:
What's the difference? Even after the initial migration, we help you bring new, more complex workloads to Azure through Azure Adopt cases. During such cases, you work closely with one of our experts. They provide you with the necessary support at every step of the process: from planning and design to execution and optimization. And they offer advice whenever you desire it.
Moreover, we always take into account the best practices of the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework. This ensures that you receive a fast, comprehensive, and correct solution.
