Ongoing discovery and dependency mapping is important to continuously calibrate your infrastructure data to workload mapping, cross-workload dependencies, and other workload-specific attributes such as performance and availability baselines. This enables improved decision making on migration grouping and prioritization, and optimization of landing zones.
The following tables list some common tools that you might use for the discovery and assessment of your enterprise workloads.
