Enterprise architecture and service-oriented architecture

An enterprise architecture is an instrument that focuses on coherence
between business processes, information distribution, and technology
infrastructure of an organization. In this compilation, the authors
begin by creating and subsequently discussing an artifact that provides
architects with the capability of monitoring validity within ArchiMate
enterprise architecture models. Next, it is suggested that business
specialists and enterprise architects can benefit from collocated
training, and that training activities in enterprise architecture are
both one-off training and recurring training, where the latter is
providing a community of practice. The authors consider ideas that may
make it easier for organizations to realize the potential benefits of
service-oriented architectures and cloud computing, as one of the
challenges for software engineers today is keeping up with the rapid
changes in technology. The major features underlying microservice
architecture are examined, particularly the advantages and the
disadvantages of their technologies and implementation. This analysis
also highlights the major capabilities of microservices in driving
future advances in the software and hardware industries
