Next steps

If you are still exploring the cloud, AWS recommends that you deploy a few proof-of-concepts (POCs) to demonstrate business value to your stakeholders. If you are ready to start building a cloud environment to host your workloads on the cloud, this set of defined capabilities can help you build your foundational cloud environment. Before getting started with your cloud adoption, AWS recommends that you complete the following activities, and reach out to your account team for more information:

  • Review the list of capabilities and create a timeline for implementing capabilities, accounting for any dependencies.

  • Identify the stakeholders in your organization that are responsible for each capability.

  • Create an implementation plan and a timeline to build your cloud environment.

As your requirements change, to help you grow your presence in the AWS Cloud, you can use the defined capabilities to build your own approach using your own tools.
