Omkhar Arasaratnam,
Cloud Security Lead Architect, IBM
(Cloud Work Group Steering Committee and Project Co-Chair)
This workshop will introduce a formal approach to making Architectural Decisions. Members of the Security for Cloud and SOA team will:
- Describe the relationship between Architecture Principles and Architectural Decisions
- Propose one or more scenarios to drive decision making for purposes of discussion
- Nominate a set of candidate Architectural Decisions for consideration of attendees. These will be security principles and candidate decisions for Cloud and SOA scenarios. They will leverage the Cloud/SOA Architecture Principles presented in the San Diego conference in February, 2011.
Based on these scenarios and candidate Architectural Decisions, participants will collaborate to validate, update or correct these candidate Architectural Decisions justifying and rationalizing the architectural process of developing these artifacts. This workshop will also be used to vet the Architecture Principles and ABBs which have already been defined by the project. Ultimately, the sample Architectural Decisions will be included in the Security for the Cloud and SOA reference architecture as examples.
Attendees will learn a structured process for making and documenting Architectural Decisions, including relating them to Architectural Principles. They will also have the benefit of participating with peers who are experienced cloud & security practitioners in developing a broadly useful set of Architectural Decisions, which can be applied to their own projects.
