Which perspective in the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) includes the capability for designing an effective data and analytics architecture?

The Platform perspective of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) focuses on the core technologies and services that underpin cloud adoption. This includes designing and implementing the foundational architecture, such as networking, compute, storage, and databases. An effective data and analytics architecture falls directly under this perspective, as it involves selecting and configuring the appropriate AWS services (e.g., Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Kinesis) to store, process, and analyze data. Security focuses on protecting information, systems, and assets. Governance deals with organizational policies, compliance, and risk management. Operations covers the day-to-day management and monitoring of cloud resources. While these perspectives interact with data and analytics, the fundamental design and implementation of the architecture itself are within the Platform domain.
