Realize Enterprise Architecture with AWS and SAFe

By: Rajnish Harjika

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.

Conclusion

As your organization’s systems become more interconnected, enterprise architecture promotes consistency across them by allowing development teams to work with a standard set of clear, proven approaches, and even product lines, for their application architectures. The common mechanisms and compatible semantics across systems enable reuse, as well as system integration. By looking beyond the current technology needs and laying the groundwork for future initiatives, these teams can go beyond single applications and assess architectural impacts on the entire enterprise.

The task of formulating, verifying, and then supporting architectural frameworks falls in the enterprise architects’ bucket. Data, security, networking, and hardware infrastructure are built out by your enterprise administrators. Also, your application project teams will be in charge of implementing your enterprise architecture. This is an effort that your enterprise architects should actively...
