Implementation guide
The Cloud Readiness Guide
How to assess whether your cloud foundation is ready to carry AI, automation and scale — and what to fix first.
What it is
Cloud readiness measures whether your infrastructure is optimised, governed and resilient enough to be the foundation everything else compounds on. This guide helps you assess and close that gap.
Why it matters
An un-optimised cloud quietly drains 30–40% of spend you could reclaim.
AI and automation only run reliably on a solid, governed foundation.
Readiness surfaces security and resilience gaps before they bite.
How to do it
1
Inventory workloads
Map every workload, its cost and utilisation.
2
Right-size and govern
Reclaim waste and switch on FinOps controls.
3
Harden and automate
Apply a security baseline and infrastructure-as-code.
4
Modernise what matters
Re-architect the workloads that justify it.
