The Role of Observability in the Cloud Adoption Framework
The Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) provides customers with a set of guidelines and best practices to assist them in digitally transforming business outcomes by innovatively using AWS. The CAF has undergone several updates, with versions 1.0 and 2.0, and the current version, 3.0. In version 1.0, the framework consists of seven perspectives, each containing a group of components and activities necessary for successful cloud adoption. In version 2.0, the perspectives were consolidated to six and a new governance perspective was added. This version focuses on the capabilities that will be affected in an organization during the move to the cloud. With version 3.0, the focus has shifted from cloud adoption to accelerating digital transformation and achieving desired business outcomes through the adoption of the cloud. The high-level changes in the CAF across its versions can be understood from the following figure:
