Introduction This article aims to explain the differences between TOGAF and the Cloud Architecture Frameworks / Well-Architected Framework (WAF). Are you interested in understanding how these frameworks can be merged? This article provides some insight into these topics without delving too deeply into the specifics of the frameworks themselves. TOGAF is…

Observability helps maintain high performance and allows innovation while reducing costs and using resources efficiently. — Due to the need to quickly provide innovation, better experiences, better services, instantaneous responses, and new online services, companies started their digital transformation with high priority moving the workload from traditional workloads to the Cloud (multi-cloud, cloud-native), changing business processes, hire new people, introduce new…

Due to the need to quickly provide innovation, better experiences, better services, instantaneous responses, and new online services, digital transformation has become highly important for many organizations worldwide.
