## Overview

Cloud migration enablement turns a target architecture and migration plan into repeatable delivery
capability. It gives teams the authority, skills, practical experience, and trusted information they
need to make decisions without creating a dependency on a small group of experts.

The [Readiness Assessment](/migration/assess/readiness-assessment/overview/) provides the starting
point. Its questionnaire and workshops expose organizational and technical gaps, while the
five-dimension scorecard identifies the roles, controls, funding, and platform capabilities that
must be in place. Use those findings to prioritize the three enablement chapters below.

<Steps>
1. Assign ownership for migration standards, decisions, and capability development.
2. Map readiness and role gaps to learning paths, workshops, and practical exercises.
3. Curate authoritative documentation, migration decisions, and reusable references.
4. Verify capability before each wave and feed lessons learned back into all three areas.
</Steps>

## Center of Excellence

The Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) owns the enablement system across migration waves. It sets
guardrails and reference patterns, connects platform and workload teams, maintains the skills plan,
and makes sure that lessons from delivery become reusable organizational knowledge. It should
enable decentralized delivery rather than become an approval bottleneck.

Establish the CCoE with a clear mandate, signed charter, appropriate structure and roles, a phased
rollout, and a federated operating model that can scale across delivery teams.

During a migration, the CCoE should:

- turn readiness findings into owned remediation and enablement actions;
- define which standards are mandatory and where teams can make local decisions;
- maintain approved landing-zone, architecture, security, FinOps, and operations patterns;
- coordinate role-based learning with migration-wave demand;
- provide office hours, coaching, and escalation paths for delivery teams;
- capture feedback, exceptions, and proven practices from each wave.

## Trainings & Learning Paths

Training should follow migration roles and upcoming work, not a generic course calendar. Start with
the capability gaps found in the readiness workshops, then plan learning early enough for people to
practice before they are accountable for a design, migration, handover, or operation task.

Use a layered path:

1. **Build shared context:** Use STACKIT Introduction, Portal, and Portfolio training so business,
   architecture, delivery, security, and operations roles share the same platform vocabulary.
2. **Develop role depth:** Assign role-based self-learning paths for Cloud Engineers, Security
   Engineers, Data Engineers, AI Engineers, Cloud Product Owners, business roles, and partners.
3. **Practice migration work:** Add hands-on deep dives for cloud engineering, architecture, and
   Kubernetes security where they match target workloads and wave responsibilities.
4. **Close specific gaps:** Use expert sessions for focused topics such as IAM, networking, FinOps,
   LLM hosting, security, or operating-model handover.
5. **Verify readiness:** Require practical evidence such as a reviewed design, deployment exercise,
   runbook walkthrough, incident scenario, or successful handover rehearsal.

STACKIT University is the central learning platform for customers and partners. It offers
self-paced programs, courses with professional certificates, webinars, workshops, and expert
sessions. A STACKIT user account is required; practical exercises can additionally require a
customer account and organization.

## Documentation & Reference

Create one trusted reference path for each migration role. Combine authoritative STACKIT product
documentation with migration-specific decisions and evidence, instead of copying product guidance
into project documents that quickly become outdated.

Use the reference system for:

- official product behavior, prerequisites, limits, release information, and operational guidance;
- platform and developer tooling, including APIs, CLI, SDKs, and infrastructure-as-code providers;
- approved target patterns, architecture decisions, controls, and exceptions;
- runbooks, validation evidence, handover records, and known issues for each migration wave;
- clear ownership, review dates, and links back to the authoritative source.

## Explain the cloud journey together

Use the illustrated Cloud Journey guide in kick-offs and introductory conversations with business
stakeholders and cloud newcomers. The mountain scene and five-minute conversation guide connect
orientation, preparation, migration, and operations to the framework.

## AI-assisted enablement

AI can accelerate service mapping, architecture exploration, Terraform drafts, and navigation of
technical references. Treat generated results as decision support: require citations, protect
customer data, and have qualified architecture, security, operations, and migration owners validate
the output before it becomes a design or execution artifact.

CloudMent is the primary AI-assisted migration asset in this module. It combines structured
assessment artifacts with interactive STACKIT guidance and grounds recommendations in STACKIT
documentation for expert review.
