Realize Enterprise Architecture with AWS and SAFe

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.

Part 4 – Setting Up an EA

Toward the end of this book, we will put all our focus on EA enablement and readiness. Once the need for this cloud migration and a slight but subtle shift in the strategy has been determined, the next step is to understand the process and flow to establish EA practices. We will explain EA modeling languages, which will prepare you to learn about ArchiMate.

This last part will give you a better insight into the basics of EA practices and the way they align with the EA Center of Excellence. At this point, you might wonder whether or not the architectural tools and modeling languages are necessary for EA. Hence, the book talks in detail about architectural tooling with ArchiMate.

We will take a deeper look into challenges and risks related to operations, customer experiences, and the ability to grow, which can help improve the transformation process. Enterprise architects need to keep a streamlined and agile IT environment so that the IT department...
