Define the enterprise hybrid and multi-cloud strategy, including coexistence and transition models for on-premise and cloud platforms. Establish workload classification, cloud readiness, and hosting models that guide where and how applications and platforms run. Evaluate, select, and retire cloud platforms and major services based on technical capabilities, regulatory requirements, and total cost of ownership. Define enterprise cost, consumption, and optimization architecture to ensure sustainable cloud adoption.
Cross-Domain Cloud Architecture
Serve as the primary authority for cross-domain cloud architecture decisions spanning application, data, security, AI, and infrastructure domains. Define how cloud platforms integrate with enterprise applications, data, analytics, and AI architectures. Resolve architectural conflicts and tradeoffs between delivery teams, domain principals, and enterprise stakeholders. Ensure architectural consistency, interoperability, and long-term sustainability across cloud initiatives and technology portfolios.
Cloud Governance and Security
Define the enterprise approach to cloud governance, risk management, and compliance in partnership with Information Security and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) teams. Establish enterprise cloud security and compliance architecture, including identity, network, platform, and data protection models. Define enterprise cloud resiliency, disaster recovery, and business continuity architecture. Ensure regulatory, privacy, and risk requirements are embedded into cloud target architectures and long-term platform strategy.
