CloudMent AI-Powered Cloud Advisor

Partner asset

CloudMent is a partner software asset. Validate scope, data handling, and recommendations before using outputs in a STACKIT migration program.

Overview

CloudMent AI-Powered Cloud Advisor supports migration teams in Assess and Design and Mobilize. It combines CloudMent Deck for structured assessment artifacts with CloudMent Essential for interactive STACKIT advisory.

The solution helps architects and portfolio teams capture requirements, map source services to STACKIT options, select R-strategies, design target architectures, and estimate STACKIT run costs. Recommendations are grounded in STACKIT documentation and include citations for expert review.

Migration Framework fit

• Rapid Discovery and Readiness Assessment: Captures application landscape information and functional or non-functional requirements to create first readiness and portfolio views.
• Discovery and Design: Maps AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud services to STACKIT equivalents with fit ratings and supports R-strategy selection during design.
• Business Case: Estimates STACKIT monthly run rates from pricing context and generates decision-support figures for migration planning.
• Enablement: Provides a guided advisory interface for teams learning STACKIT service options, Terraform patterns, and architecture decisions.

Typical capabilities

• Requirements-driven assessment: Turns workload descriptions, inventories, or CMDB inputs into cloud readiness, R-strategy, target architecture, and business-case drafts.
• Grounded advisory: Uses STACKIT documentation and provider context so recommendations can be checked through cited sources.
• Source-to-target mapping: Compares hyperscaler services with STACKIT alternatives and labels direct fits, partial fits, and gaps.
• Interactive design support: Builds and refines target architecture options with service mapping, cost estimates, and Terraform drafts.

Typical inputs and outputs

• Inputs: Workload descriptions, application inventories, requirements, architecture documents, CSV or Excel exports, and optional CMDB sources such as ServiceNow or LeanIX.
• Outputs: Readiness assessment, R-strategy classification, service mapping, target architecture, business-case estimate, Terraform draft, and cited evidence.
• Review need: Outputs are decision support and must be validated by qualified migration, architecture, security, and operations experts.

Typical fit criteria

• Hyperscaler-to-STACKIT migrations: Strong fit for portfolios moving from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud to STACKIT.
• Large or unclear portfolios: Useful when many applications, incomplete documentation, or service-mapping work slow down assessment and design.
• Sovereignty requirements: Relevant for regulated organizations that need traceable recommendations and EU-based processing on STACKIT.

Limitations

• No execution automation: CloudMent does not migrate workloads, execute cutovers, or provision customer infrastructure.
• No agent-based scan: Analysis is based on provided input data rather than direct source-environment scanning.
• Expert validation required: R-strategy, cost, compliance, Terraform, and architecture outputs must be reviewed before use.
