This paper defines a set of requirements for edge-to-cloud architectures that apply broadly across multiple industries. These potential uses span from factory floors and healthcare to remote oil and gas installations and expeditionary, forward operating defense bases. This architecture requirement list is not comprehensive, and some of the capabilities are not technically achievable yet. However, they can help define areas for development and can guide the synergy of existing capabilities.

The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps you understand the pros and cons of decisions you make while building systems on AWS.1 By using the Framework, you will learn architectural best practices for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the cloud. It provides a way for you to consistently measure your architectures against best practices and identify areas for improvement. We believe that having well-architected systems greatly increases the likelihood of business success.

Enterprise campus networks are undergoing profound changes to support ever-increasing bandwidth demands on the access layer while moving toward supporting Wi-Fi 6 and the rapid growth of powerful endpoints. With access layer bandwidth moving from speeds of 1G to 2.5G, 5G, and 10G, higher bandwidths such as 25G, 40G, and 100G will become the de facto speeds in distribution and core layers to maintain a similar over subscription ratio.

The pandemic put strong pressures on organizations to modernize their infrastructure. The sudden rush of remote workers using virtual desktop infrastructure has resulted in surges and strains within current IT infrastructure. Organizations then were faced with a difficult choice: continue operations with slow, and at times insufficient capacity to support its workers, or upgrade their IT infrastructure. Upgrading IT infrastructure provides its own challenges: on-prem upgrades are an expensive endeavor and a considerable effort must be put into provisioning the right amount of hardware. Under-provisioning could potentially result in disruptions to operations and over-provisioning would result in wasted expenses. The other option is migrating to the cloud, which although does allow for elasticity with provisioning, does have challenges in the massive, timeand resource-intensive process of replacing legacy systems with cloud-based SaaS enterprise software.

Modernizing your technology landscape requires a parallel cybersecurity strategy because your users and data are no longer protected by the corporate firewall. While the cloud provides unsurpassed agility, it also exposes new threat vectors. Your digital transformation must be accompanied by an innovative and comprehensive approach to reduce risk and attack surfaces.
