Enterprise Architecture
Defined in the context of cloud

Enterprise architecture is the practice of

conducting enterprise analysis, design,
planning, and implementation to fulfill the
business vision, strategy, and objectives of the
organization.

The envisioning of the enterprise structure,

operation of business, information, processes,
systems, infrastructure and technology
components (such as cloud) formulate the future
reference architecture blueprint with a defined
roadmap to be implemented as part of a
program or project.

 Enterprise Architecture: Differentiators
In the context of cloud

• Better visibility, traceability, flexibility

• Resource elasticity, application scalability, expandability
• Auditability and accountability
• Better capacity planning and management
• Stricter privacy and fault tolerance
• High performance and workload predictability
• Improved infrastructure efficiency
• Real-time provisioning and higher resource utilization
• Agility, availability, adaptability, and autonomy
• Easy manageability, maneuverability
• Consolidated, virtualized, dynamic, utility-like, and on-demand infrastructure
• Grid-enabled and optimized infrastructure
• Management console and automated job scheduling
• Compliant to SLAs, OLAs, government rules, and regulations

Envisioning & Planning

Major Activities

‒ Review the cloud strategy and the defined use cases in conjunction with the Cloud Architecture and
roadmap.
‒ Perform detailed analysis of existing deployment architecture (if any) or design a new architecture based on
business requirements.
‒ Review the scope of the project and define solution architecture approach (integration, reporting, and so on).
‒ Conduct Cloud Architecture readiness assessment.
‒ Identify cloud management capabilities needed.
‒ Define reference deployment architecture of business, applications, data, technology (network, security,
platform, infrastructure).
‒ Review the reference architecture blueprint built for the customer (all components of PaaS/OCI/SaaS) and
define services interactions.
‒ Identify the deliverables and artifacts for architecture technology (systems, networks, software, hardware) and
applications.
‒ Tailor architecture framework (ECAL, TOGAF, Zachman, DODAF/MODAF, Custom Built).

Information or Data Architecture
In the context of cloud

• Understand the flow of data and its impact on architecture

designs.
• Evaluate the data sources, data management and data Business
usage.
• Baseline data: Creation, storage, transport, report, Data
integration
• Targeted data: Migration, transforming, integration,
roadmap

The data eco-system reference architecture framework can beTechnology

leveraged to enter all the different data
sources and map the lifecycle of each data element as it is refined. The core Oracle Cloud Services are
highlighted to show what role they play in refining the data.

Major Activities

– Implement the target infrastructure, network topology, identity and access, data center, security,
integrations, and BI models architecture.
– Implement Cloud Management processes (such as self-service process).
– Implement deployment architecture (PreProd/Dev/test/UAT/Prod) + replication rules for integration
– Implement designed application and data architecture.
– Cross validate the designed target architecture with reference architecture after
development/configuration and build.
– Develop custom build applications architecture based on microservices approach.
– Leverage the 12 factor methodology for applications development.

Considerations for Adopting the Microservices Architecture

• Consider the microservices architecture

for applications that require high levels of
scalability, flexibility, and reliability.
• Migrate monolithic applications to
microservices if you can divide the
application’s functionality into focused
services, each with a limited scope.
• For complex monolithic applications that
can be migrated, consider developing
only the new functionality as
microservices.

53 Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

 Designing a Microservices-Based Application
Adopt microservices and 12 factor methodology for apps development

• When designing an application by

using the microservices
architecture, adhere to the
mircoservices best practices and
the 12 factor methodology for
developing applications.

• Select a suitable data persistence

pattern, and understand the value
of running microservice in
orchestrated containers.

54 Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates. For 12 Factor Methodology refer to Apps Dev. Deck
Monolithic Versus Microservices Architectures
Key differences
Characteristic Microservices Architecture
Unit Design The application consists of loosely coupled
services. Each service supports a single
business task.
Communication To communicate with each other, the
within the microservices of an application use the
application request-response communication model.
The typical implementation sues REST API
calls based on the HTTP protocol.
Technological Each microservice can be developed using
flexibility a programming language and framework
that best suits the problem that it is
designed to solve.
Scalability Each microservice can be scaled
independently of the other services.
55 Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
Monolithic Architecture
The entire applications is developed, and
deployed as a single unit.
Internal procedures (function calls) facilitate
communication between the components
of the application and there is no need to
limit the number of internal procedure calls.
Usually the entire application is written in a
single programming language.
The entire application must be scaled, even
when the business requirement is for
scaling only certain parts of the application.
Monolithic Versus Microservices Architectures
Key differences
Characteristic Microservices Architecture
Data Management Decentralized: Each microservice may use
its own database.
Deployment Each microservice is deployed
independently, without affecting the other
microservices in the application.
Maintainability Microservices are simple, focused, and
independent. So the application is easier to
maintain.
Resiliency The application functionality is distributed
across multiple services. If a microservice
fails, the functionality offered by the other
microservice continues to be available.
Functionality reuse Microservices define APIs that expose their
functionality to any client. The clients could
even be other applications.
56 Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
Monolithic Architecture
Centralized: The entire application uses
one or more databases.
Any changes, however small requires
redeploying and restarting the entire
application.
AS the application scope increases
maintaining the code becomes more
complex.
A failure in any component could affect
the availability of the entire application.
The opportunity for reusing
functionality across applications is
limited.

Major Activities

‒ Cross validate through testing the designed target architecture with reference
architecture after development/configuration and build.
‒ Ensure active stakeholder participation and support.
‒ Identify reuse opportunities of the architecture (like micro services or integrations).
‒ Review and refine architecture artefacts.
‒ Explore further architectural views: Security, information, business process, technology,
organizational
‒ Evolve Enterprise Architecture: Share learning, informal and formal modeling sessions,
investigate technologies, identify candidate architectures.
‒ Govern Architecture: Develop guidelines, monitor and measure, develop architecture
metrics, enforce adherence to guidance.
