Overview of this book

Agile implementation of enterprise architecture (EA) in the cloud is a powerful organizational tool, but it is challenging, particularly for architects who are used to on-premises environments. This in-depth guide will tell you all you need to know to reap the benefits of applying EA in your organization to achieve operational efficiency. Starting with an overview of the foundations of enterprise architecture, you'll see how it can be applied to AWS as well as explore the frameworks AWS provides for EA, such as the AWS Well-Architected Framework. That's not all – the book shows you how these frameworks align with The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) architecture development method (ADM) and the Zachman Framework so that you can choose the right fit for your organization. As you advance, you'll learn how to apply SAFe to make your organization agile as well as efficient. Once you've gotten to grips with the theory, you can explore use cases and take a quiz at the end of the book to test yourself and see how EA is applied in practice. By the end of this enterprise architecture book, you'll have the skills and knowledge required to apply EA in the cloud with AWS and drive your organization to become super-efficient and agile.

Cloud-to-cloud migration challenges

Among the most common challenges that a company might face with cloud computing, some of the leading ones that can be avoided using the right methods are listed as follows:

  • Migrating workloads: Data, applications, and servers must be moved between cloud providers with precise planning and process. Workloads need to be moved securely between clouds, just as they are when transferring from on-premises to the cloud. Downloading data at a fast enough pace can be a challenge, which can cost more.
  • Downtime: The risk of downtime during cloud migration is significant. The migration should be completed with data consistency, an examination of the network connection, and preparation for the possibility of downtime during internal applications.
  • Adapting to the new cloud environment: The majority of the time, a company will build its own applications for a specific cloud provider. There might be some difficulties when migrating to another provider...
