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.

Summary

Business is constantly evolving, and businesses must be able to assess the impact of these changes on the IT landscape, as well as how these changes will impact their operations, customer experiences, and ability to grow. Taking a closer look at these issues can help improve the transformation process. Additionally, enterprise architects keep a streamlined and agile IT environment so that IT can run upcoming business transformation projects. In light of that, this chapter shed light on how crucial EA enablement readiness is and what steps organizations can take to facilitate it. Along the way, we also determined and provided a base that helps us understand the process and flow of establishing EA practice. Identifying owners and the workflow for each of the owners, along with roles and responsibilities, were covered in this chapter. Our primary focus remains on explaining EA modeling languages in more detail.

In the next chapter, we will review and summarize all nine chapters...
