Abstract: System, apparatus and method are provided to provision and deploy a software application for operation as a resource operating on a cloud computing network accessible to a plurality of users. The system includes a processing pipeline and a compliance module included in the processing pipeline. The processing pipeline is configured to receive application code and at least one compliance library for the software application and infrastructure-as-code to be deployed in a live-environment operating on the cloud computing network, the infrastructure-as-code operational to provide access to the software application to the plurality of users. The compliance module is configured to process the infrastructure-as-code, prior to deployment of the infrastructure as code to the live-environment, to determine whether the infrastructure-as-code complies with a plurality of standards selected from standards to meet regulatory requirements, standards to meet operational requirements or standards to meet security requirements.

Abstract: System, apparatus and method of prioritizing a plurality of software applications for a migration to a cloud computing environment operated for an enterprise. For example, an application scoring module is configured to determine a default score for the software application based, at least in part, on the information received by a survey module. The weighting module is configured to receive weights assigned by the enterprise for each of a plurality of characteristics concerning the software application, respectively, the weights reflective of an understanding by the enterprise of at least one of the value to the enterprise of the software application and the complexity of migrating the software application. According to this embodiment, the application scoring module is configured to generate a customized score for the software application based on an adjustment to the default score resulting from the weights.
