Which Options Are AWS Cloud Adoption Framework Perspectives?
Which options are AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) perspectives? (Choose two.)
Community Votes
100% of anonymous learners picked answer BE. Votes are pick records left by other test-takers — they are not the verified answer.
Community Insight
You are tested on whether you can recall the exact six AWS CAF perspectives, and the trap is that plausible-sounding organizational terms like Cloud fluency, Change acceleration, and Architecture are deliberately planted as distractors.
The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) organizes its guidance around six distinct perspectives, and this question asks you to separate those perspectives from look-alike terms such as cloud fluency and change acceleration. The correct picks are Security and Business, since both appear verbatim on the AWS CAF perspective list alongside People, Governance, Platform, and Operations.
Candidates often select Architecture (D) because it sounds structural and strategic, but Architecture is not a CAF perspective — architectural guidance lives inside the Platform perspective and in the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Expert Analysis
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.
Official Reference
Exam Strategy
Memorize the six CAF perspectives as a fixed set and treat any option that is not on that list as a distractor, no matter how strategic it sounds. On Choose Two items, if you can name four or more of the six from memory you can usually eliminate your way to the answer in seconds.
