This phase takes an inventory overview of the workloads that are migration candidates and their respective dependencies. The main items of consideration here are hardware and performance requirements, users, licensing, compliance needs and workload dependencies. Go Reply can map this information into an app catalog that summarizes the information across some questions—for example: How critical the workload is to the business. The app catalog will provide you with a high-level view of the amount of effort to migrate all your different workloads.
Go Reply can guide you through automated tools such as StratoZone that can scan your existing workloads and provide you with information based on the data gathered. StratoZone not only helps with discovery but can also help you map your instances to matching Google Compute Engine instances.
