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 computing challenges

Some of the leading challenges that companies may encounter with cloud computing can be avoided using appropriate methods. The following are a few such examples:

  • Migrating workloads: The migration of data, applications, and servers between cloud providers should be planned and executed with precision. The same considerations apply when transferring on-premises workloads to the cloud as they do when transferring between clouds. It is sometimes difficult to download data quickly enough, causing higher fees.
  • Downtime: Migration to the cloud entails a significant risk of downtime. In addition to data consistency, network connections, and preparing for downtime during internal applications, the migration process should be completed with consistency.
  • Learning how to adapt to the cloud environment: A company is more likely to build its own applications for a particular cloud provider than to use existing ones. When moving to another cloud provider...
