Reference Architecture of AI in the Cloud
summary
Concrete claims and artifacts: a reference AI architecture that enumerates five focus areas and nine architectural components, compares using OpenAI, Azure Machine Learning, AWS and Databricks, and shows a modernized e‑commerce demo that delivers recommendations while keeping core ops stable. It argues for event-driven scaling (clusters sized from a few nodes up to hundreds), a data lake plus data catalog for governance, warns that AI can balloon cloud spend to match databases, and lists deploy velocity targets (10–15 environments per day) as operational proof points.
