Enterprise Architecture includes both architectural approaches and computing paradigms. For example, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a recognized and popular architectural approach. It supports business services that different lines of business can share. Cloud computing is a paradigm that is often applied to drive transformations. Cloud computing allows easy, on-demand access to a network of configurable computing resources that require minimal management. The resources provided can be storage, applications, servers, and/or services.

To prepare for this Discussion, search the Walden Library and the web for definitions and discussions of architectural approaches and their relationship to computing paradigms.

For this Discussion, post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1. Evaluate whether a chosen architectural style affects the choice of computing paradigm (for example, cloud computing or service computing). Justify your answer.
2. Explain whether there are there particular architectural styles more conducive for modeling particular computing paradigms, or whether they are independent. Justify your answer.
