An emerging pattern for making workload portability less about discovery and more about proof.
I've watched migrations go wrong in remarkably predictable ways. The application itself is usually not the problem. The software builds. The infrastructure gets provisioned. The deployment succeeds.
Then something doesn't work.
A service can't authenticate because a trust relationship wasn't recreated. An integration can't reach an endpoint because a network path existed in the old environment but was never documented. A certificate isn't trusted. A third-party connection depends on an obscure configuration that nobody thought of as part of the application.
None of these problems are particularly mysterious.
