Cloud Maturity Assessment · Free · 12 questions

Is your cloud a foundation — or just a bill?

Most organizations moved to the cloud and stopped there. Score your foundation across the four dimensions that decide whether the cloud compounds value or quietly drains it: cost governance, security, resilience, and delivery automation.

Takes about 4 minutes. Answer honestly — the score is only useful if it's true.

The assessment

Rate each statement as it is today — not where you plan to be.

1. We know what every major workload costs each month — and a named owner reviews that spend.
2. Budgets and alerts catch cost anomalies within days — surprises don't wait for the monthly invoice.
3. All human access uses MFA, admin rights are granted just-in-time, and there are no shared credentials.
4. Security posture is monitored continuously (misconfigurations, exposed endpoints, unpatched systems) — not assessed once a year.
5. Our most critical workload has a documented recovery plan with defined targets — and we've actually tested it.
6. Backups run automatically, are stored separately from production, and restores are verified — not assumed.
7. Production infrastructure is defined as code — an environment could be rebuilt from source, not from memory.
8. Deployments are automated and repeatable — releasing to production is routine, not an event.
9. Every production workload has monitoring and alerting — we find out about problems before our users tell us.
10. Workloads run on right-sized, current services — we're not paying cloud prices for lifted-and-shifted servers nobody revisited.
11. Patching and updates happen on a defined schedule across the estate — not opportunistically when someone remembers.
12. If a key engineer left tomorrow, runbooks and documentation would let the team operate the cloud without them.
