AWAWSS CAF identifies specific organizational capabilities that underpin successful cloud transformations. These capabilities provide best-practice guidance that helps you improve your cloud readiness. AWS CAF groups its capabilities in six perspectives: Business, People, Governance, Platform, Security, and Operations. Each perspective comprises a set of capabilities that functionally related stakeholders own or manage in the cloud transformation journey. Use the AWS CAF to identify and prioritize transformation opportunities, evaluate and improve your cloud readiness, and iteratively evolve your transformation roadmap.

-The AWS CMA is a maturity model that tracks the adoption of a customer's cloud transformation over time. It uses AWS CAF's foundational organizational capabilities that underpin an organization's ability to leverage the cloud to digitally transform in the cloud. It is an assessment led by AWS with the inputs from your organization to identify risks and create an engagement and risk mitigation plan in support of achieving customer goals. The results are tracked over time, and can be benchmarked, and thus used as an important input for decision making. Reach out to your AWS account team, or book a [meeting with a migration expert](https://studio.us-east-1.prod.workshops.aws/preview/362af3d7-2088-478c-80b7-1c14eb7e2095/builds/49e49224-f95c-4971-ad3d-1f0d7b2d3e84/en-US/7-meet-a-migration-expert) directly to walk you through the CMA assessment process.
