A configuration management database (CMBD) is a centralized repository that stores information about all the significant entities in your IT environment. These can include your hardware, installed software applications, documents, business services, and even the people who are part of your IT system. The CMDB is designed to help you maintain and support the interrelationships between the configuration items (CIs) within a vast IT structure.

There are many paths to the cloud, and the one you choose depends on your particular digital transformation requirements and resources. About a decade ago, Gartner cleverly developed an alliterative nomenclature to describe five different migration strategies: the five Rs. That list has evolved over time and there a lot of 5-, 6-, and 7-strategy variations out there.

The terms “workload” and “application” are sometimes thrown around interchangeably, but they are not the same, and it’s important to understand the difference.
