Turn the estimate into a measured rate
A proof of concept on two or three of your own workflows replaces the estimated rates with measured ones and gets you a Kestra quote. Bring your result and we scope it with you.
Payback calculator
Three steps: the renewal you avoid, what getting out costs, and what you would spend on Kestra.
Start from your vRO export count. The three rationalization passes from the guide, retire, group, separate wrappers, are built into step 2.
The renewal you're avoiding
1/3At renewal you would pay about €1.5M a year for vRA and vRO.
What the migration costs
2/3Start from your vRO export count. Change any number and the result updates.
340 will run in Kestra
170 unique Kestra flows
-43 wrappers
- 127
need careful conversion
About 2,095 h, so €210K of migration work.
Adjust the effort assumptions
Hours by hand, before the Migration Assistant. The first column is working out what a workflow does, building it in Kestra and checking the result. The second is each near-duplicate once the first exists. Wrappers migrate at no cost.

Starting assumptions. A proof of concept replaces them with rates measured on your own workflows.
What you'd spend on Kestra
3/3No quote yet? Leave it blank and we'll show the most you could pay and still come out ahead.
Before it goes in front of finance
Run it twice
Once with low assumptions and once with high. The result should be a range, not a single number.
Label every rate
A proof of concept gives you measured rates. The rest are estimates, and a reviewer should see which is which.
Count a saving only when the payment stops
If vRA is part of a VCF bundle you keep buying for the hypervisor, confirm with procurement that the invoice actually drops.
