The Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) helps decision makers make better decisions, faster. It provides proven guidance to reduce risk, accelerate adoption, and create a foundation that supports current and future workloads. It helps leaders create the conditions for workload teams to succeed.
How the Cloud Adoption Framework works
The Cloud Adoption Framework provides a roadmap for cloud adoption. It organizes guidance into building blocks that help decision makers establish an Azure foundation and create the standards needed to support workloads over time.
Azure adoption is the foundation of the Cloud Adoption Framework. It helps decision makers answer key questions about why they are adopting Azure, how they will prepare their organization, and how they will operate Azure over time. The outcome is an Azure landing zone and operational standards that support all Azure workloads.
| Azure adoption phases | Key decision |
|---|---|
| 🚀 1. Strategy | What should our Azure adoption look like? |
| 📝 2. Plan | How will we prepare for Azure adoption? |
| 🛠️ 3. Ready | How will we build our Azure landing zone? |
| 🌐 4. Adopt | How will we migrate, modernize, and build workloads? |
| 🛡️ 5. Govern | How will we control our Azure environment? |
| 🔒 6. Secure | How will we protect our Azure environment? |
| ⚙️ 7. Manage | How will we operate and optimize Azure over time? |
Other Cloud Adoption Framework scenarios build on this foundation. They plug into Azure adoption and provide guidance for specific business needs and technologies. See available scenarios.
Who the Cloud Adoption Framework is for
The Cloud Adoption Framework is designed for decision makers responsible for Azure adoption. It helps leaders make decisions about cloud strategy, operating models, governance, security, and cloud investments.
