About Tackle
+
+
Tackle is a cloud-native application that assesses your applications to determine an appropriate migration strategy for each application, for example, rehosting, replatforming, or refactoring. Tackle also helps you to plan the migration of your applications to an enterprise Kubernetes platform.
+

Tackle uses an interactive questionnaire for the assessment. The assessment process enables key stakeholders to gather information about applications, to discuss risks flagged by Tackle, and to reach a consensus in formulating recommendations for each application.
+
