AWS promotes their Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) to organise guidance into six areas of focus, called Perspectives. Each Perspective addresses distinct responsibilities.
- Business capabilities focus on the perspectives of Business, People, and Governance.
- Technical capabilties focus on the perspectives of Platform, Security, and Operations.

Focuses on the skills and processes to align IT strategy with business strategy. Use this perspective to ensure that you maximize the business value and minimise risks.
Includes principles and patterns for implementing new solutions on the cloud, and migrating on-premises workloads to the cloud. This perspective uses architectural models to communicate the target state environment in detail.
