Live migration to cloud has improved VM modernization while output tracking still needs work
I worked on the live shift and modernization of the AVS VMs to AWS It has definitely improved our organization and the migration went smoothly. Both rehost and modernization are supported. There is room for improvement in capturing the output and packages list for each migration. I have used…

Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Cons

"Currently assessment is doing via cloudamize need to do integrate inbuilt feature on Rivermeadow tool"
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."

"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
