Chapter 5. Solution Architecture and Design
Solution architecture is a practice of defining and describing an architecture of a system defined in the context of a specific business domain solution and it may encompass the description of an entire system or only its sub-parts. The creation and definition of a solution architecture is led by solutions architects.
A solution architect is a practitioner of solution architecture. Typically part of the solution development team, the solution architect translates business requirements defined by business analysts into solution architecture describing it through architecture and design assets. The development team leverages these assets to implement and deploy the solution. The solution architect's process typically involves selecting the most appropriate technology framework for the problem.
