1
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:01,050
‫So now let's discuss

2
00:00:01,050 --> 00:00:05,100
‫the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework also called CAF.

3
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:07,860
‫And this is something that is coming up at the exam

4
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:10,590
‫and you will have to remember a few things by heart,

5
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:12,330
‫but hopefully, by the end of this lecture

6
00:00:12,330 --> 00:00:13,920
‫it should start to make sense.

7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,870
‫So, CAF is basically an eBook.

8
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:19,980
‫It's a white paper, and so at such, it's not a service,

9
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:22,320
‫but the Cloud Adoption Framework

10
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,650
‫will help you build and then execute a comprehensive plan

11
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:27,570
‫to do your digital transformation

12
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:29,940
‫through the innovative views of AWS,

13
00:00:29,940 --> 00:00:32,970
‫so how to leverage a cloud to be transformed.

14
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:35,820
‫So, it was created by AWS, by the professionals,

15
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:38,580
‫and its best practices grouping thousands

16
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:40,800
‫of customers all in one framework.

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,700
‫So, the CAF has two components, I would say.

18
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:47,910
‫The first one is called organizational capabilities

19
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:52,110
‫that could be underpinning successful cloud transformations.

20
00:00:52,110 --> 00:00:55,230
‫And the second one is that these capabilities

21
00:00:55,230 --> 00:00:58,020
‫are regrouped in two six perspectives.

22
00:00:58,020 --> 00:00:59,460
‫And these six perspectives,

23
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:01,230
‫you have to remember for the exam.

24
00:01:01,230 --> 00:01:04,290
‫So, we have business, people, governance, platform,

25
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:06,000
‫security, and operations.

26
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,500
‫And I'll go over them a little bit

27
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,600
‫for you to understand what they're about.

28
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,510
‫So, we can divide them into two categories.

29
00:01:12,510 --> 00:01:15,870
‫The first one is the business capability.

30
00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:17,550
‫And so, we have the three pillars,

31
00:01:17,550 --> 00:01:19,680
‫so we have the business perspective, first.

32
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,870
‫And this business perspective helps ensure

33
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:24,150
‫that your cloud investments accelerate

34
00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:28,320
‫your digital transformation ambitions and business outcomes.

35
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,720
‫The people perspective is a second perspective

36
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,400
‫within the business umbrella,

37
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,010
‫and it serves as a bridge between technology and business.

38
00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:36,780
‫Very important to remember for the exam,

39
00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:38,490
‫this is a question that can be asked of you.

40
00:01:38,490 --> 00:01:40,740
‫And it helps you accelerate the cloud journey

41
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:42,780
‫to help organizations more rapidly evolve

42
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:45,660
‫to a culture of continuous growth, learning,

43
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:48,300
‫and where change becomes business as normal.

44
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:50,910
‫And so, through the people you have a focus on culture,

45
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:54,600
‫organizational structure, leadership and workforce.

46
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,420
‫And finally, we have the governance perspective,

47
00:01:57,420 --> 00:01:59,700
‫which helps you orchestrate your cloud initiatives

48
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:02,760
‫while maximizing the organizational benefits

49
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,640
‫and minimizing transformation related risks.

50
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,920
‫So, business, people and governance,

51
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,090
‫with people being the bridge

52
00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:10,560
‫between technology and business.

53
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,320
‫And so, within each of these perspectives,

54
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,180
‫we have the capabilities.

55
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:16,560
‫And so, for business,

56
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,630
‫we have capabilities that are related to business.

57
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:19,470
‫You don't have to remember them,

58
00:02:19,470 --> 00:02:21,030
‫but it's good to look at them.

59
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:23,430
‫So, strategy management, portfolio management,

60
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:25,650
‫innovation management, product management,

61
00:02:25,650 --> 00:02:28,020
‫strategic partnership, data monetization,

62
00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:30,330
‫business insight and data science.

63
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:32,100
‫For people, we have anything related to people,

64
00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:34,920
‫so culture evolution, transformational leadership,

65
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,740
‫cloud fluency, workforce transformation,

66
00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:40,650
‫change acceleration, organization design,

67
00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:42,870
‫and organizational alignment.

68
00:02:42,870 --> 00:02:43,703
‫And for governance,

69
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:46,080
‫we have program and project management,

70
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,420
‫benefits management, risk management,

71
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:50,100
‫cloud financial management,

72
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:52,020
‫application portfolio management,

73
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:54,630
‫data governance, and data curation.

74
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:56,790
‫So, that's for the business capabilities

75
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:59,040
‫regrouped under the three business perspectives

76
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,800
‫of business, people, and governance.

77
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,190
‫And then, we have what's called the technical capabilities.

78
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:08,220
‫So, the technical capabilities are platform,

79
00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:10,950
‫security, and operations.

80
00:03:10,950 --> 00:03:14,610
‫And platform helps you build an enterprise-grade,

81
00:03:14,610 --> 00:03:17,100
‫scalable, hybrid cloud platform

82
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:18,990
‫to modernize your existing workloads

83
00:03:18,990 --> 00:03:22,860
‫and to implement new cloud-native solutions.

84
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:24,540
‫From the security perspective,

85
00:03:24,540 --> 00:03:27,900
‫it helps you achieve the confidentiality, integrity,

86
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,740
‫and availability of your data and cloud workloads.

87
00:03:31,740 --> 00:03:34,320
‫And finally, from an operations perspective,

88
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,560
‫it helps you ensure that your cloud services are delivered

89
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,830
‫at the level that meets the needs of your business.

90
00:03:40,830 --> 00:03:43,200
‫So now, if you look at individual capabilities

91
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,550
‫within these perspectives,

92
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:46,920
‫we have platform, security, and operations.

93
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,110
‫So, for platform, we have platform architecture,

94
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:52,500
‫data architecture, platform engineering, data engineering,

95
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:54,300
‫provisioning and orchestration,

96
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:55,920
‫modern application development,

97
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,400
‫and continuous integration and continuous delivery.

98
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,830
‫So, for security, we have anything related to security,

99
00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:04,920
‫of course, such as security governance, security assurance,

100
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,890
‫identity and access management, threat detection,

101
00:04:07,890 --> 00:04:10,680
‫vulnerability management, infrastructure position,

102
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,990
‫data protection, application security,

103
00:04:12,990 --> 00:04:14,490
‫and incident response.

104
00:04:14,490 --> 00:04:16,590
‫And finally, operations is all around the operations

105
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:17,760
‫within the Cloud, so we're talking

106
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,400
‫about observability, event management,

107
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,410
‫incidents and problem management,

108
00:04:22,410 --> 00:04:24,060
‫change and release management,

109
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:26,130
‫performance and capacity management,

110
00:04:26,130 --> 00:04:28,530
‫configuration management, patch management,

111
00:04:28,530 --> 00:04:30,540
‫availability and continuity management,

112
00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:33,450
‫and finally, application management.

113
00:04:33,450 --> 00:04:36,540
‫So, the goal is really when you go at the exam

114
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:40,080
‫to really understand what are the perspectives

115
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,000
‫that regroup these capabilities,

116
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,430
‫so you definitely have to remember business, people,

117
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:46,860
‫governance, platform, security, and operations

118
00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:49,470
‫because there will be something asked of you,

119
00:04:49,470 --> 00:04:52,080
‫and maybe sometime you will have to identify

120
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,990
‫a specific capability and associate it

121
00:04:54,990 --> 00:04:56,730
‫with a correct perspective.

122
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:58,920
‫But if you look at the list which just went over,

123
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,120
‫usually it makes sense.

124
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,200
‫What is related to security,

125
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,640
‫sounds like security,

126
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,690
‫what is related to business,

127
00:05:03,690 --> 00:05:06,150
‫sounds like business and so on.

128
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:07,350
‫Now, there's one less part

129
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:08,940
‫in this little diagram right here,

130
00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:10,320
‫which is the transformation domain.

131
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,010
‫So, we have technology, process, organization, and product,

132
00:05:14,010 --> 00:05:16,500
‫and that helps you drive business outcomes.

133
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:19,470
‫And some questions at the exam can be geared

134
00:05:19,470 --> 00:05:20,640
‫towards these transformation domains,

135
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,710
‫so I'm also gonna go over this.

136
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:24,450
‫So, these four transformation domains,

137
00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:26,280
‫the first one is technology.

138
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,350
‫So, we use the cloud to migrate

139
00:05:28,350 --> 00:05:30,870
‫and modernize legacy infrastructure,

140
00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:33,930
‫applications, data, and analytics platforms.

141
00:05:33,930 --> 00:05:36,120
‫For process, we want to be digitizing everything,

142
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,270
‫automating, and optimizing your business operations.

143
00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:41,310
‫That means you want to, two things,

144
00:05:41,310 --> 00:05:43,440
‫leverage new data and analytics platform

145
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,110
‫to create actionable insights, thanks to the cloud.

146
00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:47,790
‫And using machine learning

147
00:05:47,790 --> 00:05:50,280
‫to improve your customer service experience.

148
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:51,870
‫This is all thanks to the cloud.

149
00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:55,890
‫For organization, how do you reimagine your operating model?

150
00:05:55,890 --> 00:05:58,470
‫So, for this, we want to reorganize the teams

151
00:05:58,470 --> 00:06:00,840
‫around the products and the value streams.

152
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:03,090
‫And you want to leverage agile methods

153
00:06:03,090 --> 00:06:05,160
‫to rapidly iterate and evolve.

154
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,630
‫This is something that can be asked for

155
00:06:06,630 --> 00:06:08,610
‫at the exam as per my experience.

156
00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:11,460
‫And finally, for products, reimagining your business model

157
00:06:11,460 --> 00:06:13,170
‫by creating new value propositions

158
00:06:13,170 --> 00:06:15,690
‫such as product and services and revenue models.

159
00:06:15,690 --> 00:06:17,940
‫So, all this thanks to the cloud.

160
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:20,790
‫So, CAF missing like a very obscure framework.

161
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:22,650
‫And to be honest, it's something you kind of have to

162
00:06:22,650 --> 00:06:24,450
‫just look at and follow

163
00:06:24,450 --> 00:06:26,910
‫when you're doing your cloud adoption.

164
00:06:26,910 --> 00:06:28,680
‫Now, from an exam perspective, again,

165
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,120
‫I want to reassure you,

166
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,460
‫you're going to be asked about the perspectives

167
00:06:32,460 --> 00:06:35,820
‫and identifying which one is part of the framework or not.

168
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:37,500
‫You may be asked to identify

169
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:41,670
‫if a capability belongs to a specific perspective.

170
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:43,230
‫And finally, you may be asked

171
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:45,300
‫about these transformation domains and identify.

172
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:48,300
‫For example, what is organization made of?

173
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:49,950
‫Well, it's made of these two components,

174
00:06:49,950 --> 00:06:51,720
‫which is to reorganize your teams

175
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,550
‫and leverage agile methods.

176
00:06:53,550 --> 00:06:55,530
‫But all these things kind of make sense

177
00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:57,960
‫by elimination when you go through at the exam.

178
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,900
‫So, even if you don't remember by heart what these are,

179
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:04,260
‫just remember that by using a little bit of brain power

180
00:07:04,260 --> 00:07:07,200
