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.

Additionally, they improve employee morale and customer satisfaction, as well as their agility. The cloud can be effectively leveraged for digital transformation, but only if you have a set of foundational organizational capabilities (your cloud-readiness). By identifying these capabilities and offering prescriptive guidance, the AWS Cloud Transformation Accelerator helps thousands of organizations across the globe accelerate their cloud transformation endeavors.

Once you understand the reasons for migrating to a cloud environment, you can develop a cloud migration strategy. In cloud computing, data centers don’t need to...
