+# WebLogic Resources
+
+In this folder, we are making available several useful resources that can be used when deploying, using or configuring WebLogic as application server fro custom application. Here, we focus on _custom applications_ and we are considering WebLogic in the context of _Oracle Fusion Middleware_ applications. In the later case the WebLogic deployment must follows 
+specific rules and best practices as described in details in the specific documentation.
+
+## Content Folders
+
+Currently, we have the following content:
+
+### WebLogic Discovery 
+
+Content material to be used for WebLogic workloads discovery (see [README](weblogic-discovery/README.md)).
+
+### WebLogic on VM
+
+Content material regarding the WebLogic deployment in OCI VMs (see [README](weblogic-on-vm/README.md))
+
+
+### WebLogic for OKE
+
+Content material regarding the WebLogic deployment as containerized application leveraging OCI _Oracle Engine for Kubernetes_ (OKE) (see [README](weblogic-for-oke/README.md)).
+
+
+### WebLogic Deployment Utilities  
+
+Various deployment utilities and scripts for WebLogic (see [README](weblogic-deployment-utility/README.md)).

+# WebLogic Discovery
+
+The content of this folder is about WebLogic's workloads _discovery_. The term _discovery_ can include different tasks and activities
+depending on the context and the goal of the engagement.  
+
+## Possible Discovery Contexts  
+
+### Lift & Shift to OCI
+
+If we are talking about a _Lift & Shift_ (L&S) project from on-premises to OCI, normally we consider the following activities:
+
+1. Collect information to define the _Current State Architecture_.
+2. Assess the workloads' functional requirements.  
+3. Assess the migration requirements.
+4. Assess the required capacity and evaluate the target sizing.  
+5. Define the migration approach.
+6. Define a detailed migration plan.
+
+
+### WebLogic Modernization 
+
+In this case, one of the goals of the project is to modernize the application framework and in particular WebLogic. Most of the previous tasks 
+will remain the same, but, now we have also:
+
+1. Define the possible modernization paths and their requirements.
+2. Define a detailed modernization proposal.
+3. Define a _Future State Architecture_.
+4. Define a deployment and adoption plan (possibly a _phased_ one).  
+
+
+## Content List  
+
+Following is the content currently available:
+
+### WebLogic Discovery Questionnaire
+
+A simple, reusable Excel spreadsheet questionnaire to use as a guideline to do a proper WebLogic workload discovery.
