Which AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) perspective does this team primarily represent?
- APeople Perspective
- BSecurity Perspective
- CBusiness Perspective
- DPlatform Perspective
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Platform Perspective
The Platform Perspective of the AWS CAF focuses on technology leaders such as CTOs and architects who design and implement architecture principles, provisioning standards, and hybrid/multi-cloud strategies. This differs from Security (protecting workloads), People (organizational change/skills), and Business (aligning cloud with strategy).
Why the other options are wrong
- A. People Perspective focuses on organizational change management and staff skills.
- B. Security Perspective focuses on ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability, not general architecture standards.
- C. Business Perspective focuses on ROI and business alignment, not technical architecture.
CAF Platform Perspective
A CAF perspective led by technology leaders that defines architecture principles, provisioning standards, and hybrid/multi-cloud infrastructure design.

- Establishes service catalogs and provisioning standards
- Supports hybrid and multi-cloud strategies
Memory trick: Platform = Plans the technical foundation.
