Cloud transformation is a continuous journey of adopting cloud computing concepts and services and reaping the benefits of using them. The benefits of cloud computing can be identified and ensured in a systematic, predictable, repeatable, and cost-effective way by leveraging existing and proven architectural concepts and practices. These concepts and practices can also be used to identify and define a cloud transformation roadmap which aims at achieving specific business and technical benefits for an individual organization.
Introduction Although the maturity of the discipline of (software) architecture has increased, there is a significant knowledge gap in the industry related to architectural practices and methods, and how to integrate them with other software engineering practices and methods. Descriptions of architectural concepts, techniques, practices, and methods are scattered across technical reports, articles, books, and … Continue reading Architecture Practice Library (APL)
Maturity of the Discipline of (Software) Architecture Software architecture as a distinct discipline in software engineering emerged around 1990 although the problems, concepts and solutions had been discussed much longer (see [1]).
