Realize Enterprise Architecture with AWS and SAFe

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

Understanding the TOGAF architecture domains and exploring cloud ecosystems in context to AWS is what this chapter is all about. We also reviewed the reference architectures and models and shed light on how to approach each phase of TOGAF ADM in AWS cloud transformation. The aim is to understand the non-functional aspects of the system including security, reliability, operational excellence, performance efficiency, and cost optimization. Moving forward, we will talk and explain WAR alignment with TOGAF principles.

The interoperability of an IT and business taxonomy along with the comprehensive list of services that will simplify enterprise business operations and reduce complexity were also mentioned in this chapter.

Next, we will find the answer to the following questions: how do you select the IT initiative across your enterprise, and what is the strategy that drives ABBs and solution building blocks? With a deep study of multiple architectural phases and implementations...
