 **Q2 2019 release (April 15, 2019):** Cloud migration tools can easily migrate tens of thousands of IT assets to the cloud. However, customer feedback indicates that cloud migrations are blocked by culture and technical readiness. The spring release addresses these blockers by defining an iterative approach to cloud migration. The core methodology includes a streamlined Azure migration guide for learning the tools and basic processes, with expanded scope and best practices sections for building on this baseline guidance.

-There's a learning curve and a time commitment associated with cloud adoption planning. Even for experienced teams, proper planning takes time: time to align stakeholders, time to collect and analyze data, time to validate long-term decisions, and time to align people, processes, and technology. In the most productive adoption efforts, planning evolves in parallel with adoption, improving with each release and with each workload migration to the cloud. It's important to understand the difference between a cloud adoption plan and a cloud adoption strategy. You need a well-defined strategy to facilitate and guide the implementation of a cloud adoption plan.

 The Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure outlines the processes for cloud adoption and the operation of workloads hosted in the cloud. Each of the processes across the Define strategy, Plan, Ready, Adopt, and Operate phases require slight expansions of technical, business, and operational skills. Some of those skills can come from directed learning. But many of them are most effectively acquired through hands-on experience.
