This Cloud Enterprise Architecture examines enterprise architecture (EA) in the context of Cloud computing's growing popularity. It explains the various types of desired transformations that the EA architectural blocks go through in light of this strategically significant convergence. Chapters cover EA's contributing architectures—business, information, application, integration, security, and technology—illustrating the Cloud's current and future implications for each. The book details the perceptible and positive changes that will affect EA design, governance, strategy, management, and sustenance as it discusses the implications of the Cloud paradigm on EA. These topics are linked together by chapters on Cloud integration and composition architecture. He also looks at the Enterprise Cloud, Federated Clouds, and the InterCloud vision.
