Implementing Enterprise Architecture Frameworks for Cloud Adoption: Developing a Comprehensive Roadmap for Successful Cloud Transition
Keywords:
enterprise architecture, cloud adoptionAbstract
This paper offers a comprehensive road map to enable companies to migrate to the cloud and investigates enterprise architecture (EA) models for coordinated cloud adoption. Companies use the cloud for expansion, adaption, and development. Strategylessness results in poor organizational alignment, erratic transitions, performance, and inefficiency of cost-effectiveness. EA models that support cloud adoption and tie efforts to corporate objectives, resource allocation, and regulatory compliance are presented in this paper.
Zachman, ToGAF, and FEAF tests multi-layered cloud migration. While achieving corporate goals, this method enables businesses to assess infrastructure, design clouds, and handle transitional times. The frameworks enable businesses to create flexible, safe, and strong technological innovation architecture and cloud strategy. The report advises choosing one based on organisational context, industry requirements, and cloud maturity because a single EA framework cannot satisfy all objectives related to cloud adoption.
