Standard architecture: Cloud, data centre and data platform providers

Workflows that drive an outcome from step to step. Mostly people and process.

Standard architectureThe parts at least half of the organizations in Cloud, data centre and data platform providers have, as many as 11 of them run all together. Counted from public, sourced parts only; each organization below links to the parts it was counted on.
