What are the different key architecture strategy for cloud adoption ?

General Note : This series of article is written from Inspiration from AWS Well Architected framework.

The answer to above questions in general varies on context. But in the context of cloud, it is apparent that architecture strategy dwells with below architecture types and is very important on successful cloud adoption and practise.

These below architecture types are very unique in nature and consider to be key important differentiating principles to be practised on cloud adoption.

Focus Area 1: Architectural Stereotypes

Focus Area 2: Resilient Architectures

Focus Area 3: PerformantArchitectures

Focus Area 4: Secure Applications Architectures

Focus Area 5: Cost-Optimized Architectures

Focus Area 6: Operationally Excellent Architectures

Focus Area 7: Governance Architecture

We intend to discuss and capture key tenants of these architecture types and their corresponding functions.

In that series of article we will elucidate on these strategy with detailed use case and implementation detail.

Glimpse of Resilient Architecture:

The resilient architecture focuses on application stability to withstand and function effectively under all circumstances. The application should recover quickly and restore its original state in the event of any abnormal situation.

The resilience is achieved through enabling a high degree of availability with various measure. It will ensure the satisfaction of users, as well as the health of the product bottom line. Let's understand in detail about high availability, how to calculate service availability, and how to plan for applications to be truly highly available.

The network topology and application design makes the system more resilient. Hence we should be cautious in choosing the right network topology and application design to achieve Successful high availability .

Please stay tuned for volume-2 with a detailed discussion on the above cloud architecture strategy covering components and its purpose.
