How can APN Partners help customers get accustomed to cloud adoption?

Selecting workloads that are less complicated to migrate is a strategic approach that APN (AWS Partner Network) Partners can take to facilitate smooth cloud adoption for customers. This method allows customers to build confidence as they transition to the cloud. By starting with simpler, less critical workloads, organizations can familiarize themselves with the cloud environment, adjust to new operational practices, and understand the tools and services available without the risk and complexity that come with more intricate systems.

This approach also provides an opportunity to experiment and gather insights, which can then be applied to more complex workloads in subsequent phases of migration. It emphasizes a gradual and manageable transition, ensuring that teams are not overwhelmed and can progressively adapt to the cloud paradigm, ultimately leading to a more successful and sustainable adoption of cloud technologies.

Other methods, while valuable in their own ways, do not directly address the principle of easing customers into the cloud environment through a structured migration process. For instance, migrating all workloads at once could lead to challenges and disruptions, while providing extensive training and recommending corporate policies are important but may not directly facilitate immediate hands-on experience with cloud systems.
