nOps Discovery: Intelligent Workload Analysis for Cloud Migration

What's Inside

nOps Discovery is organized into two main sections:

• Workflow Steps: The sequential migration process from data collection to execution
• Features & Capabilities: The specialized technological capabilities that power the platform

Overview

nOps Discovery is a comprehensive cloud migration assessment solution designed to help organizations plan their journey to AWS with confidence. By analyzing your current IT estate - whether in Google Cloud, Azure, or on-premises - nOps Discovery provides detailed insights and recommendations for right-sizing, containerization, and serverless opportunities.

Key Features

Multi-Cloud Telemetry Collection

• Agentless Architecture: Collect comprehensive workload data without installing agents on each target system
• Secure by Design: All data is stored locally in human-readable JSON format for review before transmission
• Support for Disconnected Environments: Air-gapped mode for highly secure environments

AI-Powered Analysis

• Workload Analysis: Deep analysis of resource utilization, licensing, and business intent
• Deep Code Introspection: Optional AI-powered source code analysis for enhanced insights
• Container & Serverless Opportunities: Identify and transform workloads to modern deployment models
• Migration Move Groups: Automatically partition your IT estate into logical migration groups

Strategic Planning Tools

• Migration Planning: Create comprehensive migration waves with configurable risk tolerance
• Microservice Conversion: Identify and plan monolith decomposition opportunities
• TCO Analysis: Compare current costs vs. projected AWS costs
• Dependency Mapping: Visualize application dependencies to minimize migration risk

Workflow Steps

The nOps Discovery workflow follows a structured, sequential process:

1. Data Collection: Deploy our lightweight Agentless Data Collector to gather telemetry
2. Workload Analysis: Analyze resource utilization, licensing, and business intent
3. Migration Planning: Create migration waves with configurable risk tolerance
4. Migration Execution: Orchestrate the actual migration to AWS

Features & Capabilities

nOps Discovery leverages several specialized capabilities throughout the workflow:

1. Deep Code Introspection: Optional AI-powered source code analysis
2. Container & Serverless Opportunities: Modern deployment model transformation
3. Microservice Conversion: Monolith decomposition planning
4. Infrastructure as Code Generation: Data-driven Terraform/OpenTofu code creation
5. Move Group Generation: AI-driven migration wave planning and optimization

Getting Started

To begin your migration assessment with nOps Discovery:

1. Install the Agentless Data Collector
2. Request a License Key from the nOps platform
3. Configure the collector with your credentials and target systems
4. Allow data collection to run for at least 7 days (14 days recommended)
5. Follow the workflow steps in your nOps dashboard

Security & Compliance

nOps Discovery is designed with security as a top priority:

• Local Data Storage: All telemetry is stored locally first for review
• Human-Readable Format: Data is stored in JSON format for easy inspection
• Air-Gap Support: For highly sensitive environments, data can be transferred offline
• Regular Uploads: Data is securely transmitted to nOps every 15 minutes (configurable)
• HTTPS Encryption: All data transfers use TLS 1.2+ encryption
