Detailed route

Course map for cloud virtualization, container, and API planning work.

The class does not treat a virtualization inventory export as a complete application discovery tool. It teaches the team how to read the export honestly, mark confidence, and hand the right questions to cloud, platform, and API owners.

Every course route starts with the same question: which export facts are decision-grade, and which facts need another owner?

How the training day is organized

Checkpoint Team practice Output
Workbook intake Read VM, host, datastore, snapshot, tools, and network tabs as one story instead of isolated sheets. A marked export review with confidence notes.
Cloud readiness Group workloads, flag capacity concerns, and separate sizing evidence from migration assumptions. A cloud planning packet for stakeholder review.
Container discussion Identify where infrastructure data can start a container conversation and where app discovery must take over. A candidate question list for platform and app owners.
API dependency route Use naming, network, ownership, and environment clues to prepare dependency interviews. An API handoff sheet that keeps uncertainty visible.

Practice lanes the instructor can emphasize

Cloud migration lane

Best when the team needs to prepare estate notes for cloud planning, rightsizing review, or migration wave discussions.

Container assessment lane

Best when platform teams need a disciplined first-pass list before deeper application analysis begins.

API operations lane

Best when API owners need dependency questions and ownership context before automation or gateway work starts.
