CLF-C02 Practice Question 82: CAF Governance Perspective
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) · Test 9 · question 2 of 10
A cloud readiness assessment finds three gaps at a company. Nobody checks whether its cloud initiatives deliver the benefits that were promised. Cloud spending cannot be traced back to the teams that incur it. And there is no complete inventory of the company's applications to guide migration decisions. Which perspective of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) contains the capabilities that address all three gaps?
Show answer and explanation
Answer:
The Governance perspective focuses on orchestrating cloud initiatives while maximizing organizational benefits and minimizing transformation-related risks. Common stakeholders include the CIO, CTO and CFO. Three of its seven capabilities match the gaps directly. Benefits management makes sure the business benefits of cloud investments are realized and sustained. Cloud financial management plans, measures and optimizes cloud spend, including mapping costs to teams with account structure and cost allocation tags. Application portfolio management maintains an accurate application inventory to find opportunities for rationalization, migration and modernization.
Option A, the Platform perspective, is about building an enterprise-grade, scalable hybrid cloud environment, with capabilities such as platform architecture, data engineering and CI/CD. Option B, the Operations perspective, makes sure cloud services are delivered at a level that meets business needs. Option C, the People perspective, focuses on culture, organizational structure, leadership and workforce skills.
