According to TOGAF, Which of the following best describes the classification of architectural change in the case where multiple server systems are being consolidated to a single system?

The correct answer is E. A simplification change handled via change management techniques. TOGAF classifies architectural changes into three types: simplification changes, incremental changes, and re-architecting changes. Consolidating multiple servers into one is a simplification change - it reduces complexity without altering the fundamental architecture or…

Explanation

TOGAF classifies architectural changes into three types: simplification changes, incremental changes, and re-architecting changes. Consolidating multiple servers into one is a simplification change - it reduces complexity without altering the fundamental architecture or requiring a full ADM cycle. Simplification changes are handled via change management techniques rather than re-entering the ADM. An incremental change adds new capability, while a re-architecting change fundamentally restructures the architecture and requires a full ADM pass.
