Cloud Architecture Diagram

An IBM Cloud Architecture Diagram is a visual representation that outlines the components and interactions within a cloud-based solution on IBM Cloud.

This diagram illustrates how various services, applications, and infrastructure elements integrate to meet specific business or technical objectives.

Key Elements of IBM Cloud Architecture Diagrams

    Public Network

    • Includes users who interact with the system through various devices.
    • Edge services act as intermediaries, enhancing performance, security, and access to cloud applications.

    Cloud Network

    • API management facilitates secure communication between different applications and services.
    • Application servers process user requests and execute business logic.
    • Caches optimize performance by storing frequently accessed data closer to the user.
    • Files repository provides scalable storage for structured and unstructured data.
    • User directory manages authentication and access control for cloud-based applications.

    Enterprise Network

    • Transformation & connectivity ensures seamless integration of cloud and on-premise enterprise systems.
    • Enterprise data includes databases and structured repositories supporting business operations.
    • Enterprise applications run core business processes and interact with cloud-based services.
    • Enterprise directory manages identity and access control within the internal network.

Architecture Considerations

  • Relationships: Show how components interact, including data flow between public, cloud, and enterprise networks.
  • Boundaries: Define the scope of different elements, ensuring security across user access, cloud-hosted services, and enterprise data repositories.
  • Integration: API management and connectivity layers bridge cloud and enterprise systems, enabling smooth operations across all networks.

An IBM Cloud Architecture Diagram provides a clear, organized framework that enhances scalability, security, and efficiency across enterprise solutions by structuring components within these network layers.
