Book Description

Agile implementation of Enterprise Architecture (EA) in the cloud is challenging, particularly for architects who are used to on-premises environments. When combined with AWS and SaFe, it is a powerful organizational tool, and this in-depth guide will tell you all you need to know to reap the benefits by applying it in your organization.

This book is for experienced and inexperienced solution architects, enterprise architects, and cloud architects alike who are looking to achieve operational efficiency with EA. Staring with an overview of the foundations of enterprise architecture, you'll see how it can be applied to AWS and explore the frameworks AWS provides for EA, such as the AWS Well-Architected Framework. But that's not all - the book shows you how these frameworks align with the TOGAF ADM and the Zachman framework so that you can choose the right fit for your organization. You'll learn how to apply SaFe to make your organization agile as well as efficient. Once you've learned the theory, you can explore use cases and take a quiz at the end of the book so you can 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.
