Which Options Are AWS Cloud Adoption Framework Perspectives?

Why the Answer Is Correct

The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework is built on six perspectives: Business, People, Governance, Platform, Security, and Operations. Business (E) is the perspective that aligns cloud investments with business outcomes, and Security (B) is the perspective that covers identity, compliance, and protective controls. Both appear verbatim on the CAF foundational-capabilities page that community members linked directly in this thread. Because the question asks for exactly two answers and both named options are on the official list, B and E are unambiguously correct. The unanimous vote record (BE) and multiple confirming comments agree with this reading.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Cloud fluency (A) is not one of the six CAF perspectives; it describes an organizational capability associated with building cloud knowledge and is not published as a perspective. Change acceleration (C) describes change-management activity, not a CAF perspective — the CAF instead frames organizational change work through capabilities such as People and Governance. Architecture (D) is the most tempting distractor because it sounds like a top-level domain, but architecture is tackled within the Platform perspective and formalized separately in the AWS Well-Architected Framework. None of A, C, or D appears in the AWS list of Business, People, Governance, Platform, Security, and Operations, so each fails on the plain wording of the documented perspective set.

Community Comment Notes

As one commenter noted, the AWS whitepaper on foundational capabilities is the decisive source. Meow7 simply listed the six perspectives — "Business People Governance Platform Security Operation" — which is the exact enumeration needed to answer this item. reddy187 and Zongetsu both confirmed "B and e" without dissent, and the vote tally is a clean sweep for BE. The community here is aligned with the official documentation, so there is no conflict to resolve.
