AWS CAF (Cloud Adoption Framework)
AWS CAF is organized into
Six perspectives
Perspectives consists of
capabilities
The AWS SIx core perspectives are
Business, people, governance, platform, security, operations
What capabilities do business, people, and governance consist of?
Business capabilities
What capabilities do platform, security, and operations consist of?
Technical capabilties
Which perspective? We must ensure that IT is aligned with business needs, and that IT investments can be
traced to demonstrable business results.
Business perspective
Which perspective? We must prioritize training, staffing, and organizational changes to build an agile
organization.
People perspective
Which perspective? We must ensure that skills and processes align IT
strategy and goals with business strategy and
goals so the organization can maximize the business
value of its IT investment and minimize business risks.
Governance perspective
We must understand and communicate the
nature of IT systems and their relationships.
We must be able to describe the architecture
of the target state environment in detail.
Platform perspective
We must ensure that the organization meets its
security objectives.
Security perspective
We align with and support the operations of the
business, and define how day-to-day, quarterto-quarter, and year-to-year business will be
conducted.
