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.

Characterization in terms of enterprise segmentation

In certain scenarios, additional architects may be required to support the architecture effort due to the complexity of a solution. All categories of architects do the tasks outlined previously as well. An enterprise, enterprise solution, and solution architect team can come together to accomplish the task. Depending on the phases of the development process, each member may have a specific focus, if not a specific role and responsibility. If it is deemed necessary to organize an architectural team, a lead enterprise architect must be assigned to manage and lead the team, as follows:

  • The enterprise architect is responsible for applying architecture design and documentation to both the technical and landscape reference models. In most cases, the enterprise architect leads a team of segment architects and/or solutions architects to implement a particular program. The focus of the enterprise architect is on the enterprise-level...
