Are you looking for a roadmap to move/migrate/hybrid to the cloud? or how to utilize cloud technologies in a planful manner?

It all depends on your case. If you are looking forward to move to cloud from on prem here are some pointers - 
1. Plan - List all apps, databases, requirements, Choose cloud provider, migration plan.
2. Design and Architecture - based on cloud provider and your requirements, choose the patterns, services and tools.
3. Security and Configuration - Access control, Security settings, Firewalls etc. 
4. Data migration - Once apps are deployed (re-hosted or refactored), choose how do you switch the databases and migrate data. There are tools available for that.
5. Monitoring - Setup dashboards for SLA, SLOs, performance metrics, app monitoring etc. 

And as always - Continuous improvements with documentation and cross skilling in team.

We've built the framework for cloud migration/modernisation initiatives. Format is graphical. 
Looks more or less like this:

Adjust

The “Adjust” wave covers the planning and aligning of the organization for cloud and data endeavors. Foundational choices and considerations are analyzed to establish a basis for the project.

 - Requirement Analysis

- Calculating Cloud Cost

 - Choosing Cloud Architecture

 - Cloud Migration Strategy

 - Considering Security Risks

 - Designing team for further steps

 - Business impact discussed and designed

Design

The “Design” wave encompasses the complete design of primary and subsidiary cloud and data processes. The substance of the project is generated here with a broad scope capturing each element necessary for completion.

 

- Rollback plan design

 - Data storage and operations design

 - Data security check and design

 - Data quality audit and design

 - Data architecture designed

 - Policies and documentation updates

 - Board of Directors meeting plan designed

Connect

The “Connect” wave sets the stage for integration. Content generated in the “Design” wave is prepared to be activated and final attunements are made to completely align the material for migration.

 

- Data Source listed

 - Data integration verified and designed

 - Data Mapping plan

 - Data storage verified, designed or redesigned

 - Data targets designed

 - PoC / Batches plan

- Planning

 - Selecting tasks

 - Sprint building

 - Meetings. Synchs. Retros

 - TCO and ROI checkup

 - Coaching

 - Migration and Automation

 - Testing and final realease
