About AWS Well-Architected Framework

The Well-Architected framework has been developed to help cloud architects build the most secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure possible for their applications. This framework provides a consistent approach for customers and partners to evaluate architectures, and provides guidance to help implement designs that will scale with your application needs over time.


The Five Pillars of the Well-Architected Framework

The Five Pillars of the Well-Architected Framework

Operational Excellence: Focus on running and monitoring systems to deliver business value, and continually improve process and procedures. Improve your key success indicators: Efficiency & Effectiveness, Deployment Frequency, Deployment Speed, Failure Rates, Mean Time to Recovery.

Security: Protect information and systems. This includes confidentiality, data integrity, privilege management, managing security incidents, and controls. Measure your workload for security compliance like: SOC2, ISO-27001, GDPR.

Reliability: Try to prevent failure. When it occurs, be able to recover quickly. Consider setup, cross project requirements, recovery plans, change management, high availability, automated deploys. Prevent failures by 50% with efficient monitoring and auto healing mechanism.

Performance Efficiency: Pick the right resources - be the instances, containers, or functions - and types to maximize utilization. Consider storage efficiency, database technologies, performance at the edge, and leverage services. Increase performance & availability by 20% - 25% remaining within the budget limit.

Cost Optimization: Avoid unnecessary costs. Pick the right instance types. Analyze spending overtime. Consider spot instances and geographical distribution. Tag well and manage lifecycle. Reduce overall operational expenses by 30% - 40%.
