Framework

AWS Well-Architected Framework

The AWS Well-Architected Framework is our compass in the vast world of AWS Cloud. Serving as a best practices guide, this framework provides guidance on using Amazon Web Services effectively.

It’s built on six foundational pillars. The Operational Excellence Pillar focuses on running and monitoring systems efficiently. The Security Pillar focuses on data protection and resistance to threats. The Reliability Pillar is all about system recovery and dependable performance, even when faced with disruptions. The Performance Efficiency Pillar focuses on choosing and using resources efficiently. The Cost Optimization Pillar aims for the most value at the least expense. The Sustainability Pillar emphasizes environmentally responsible cloud operations.

Leveraging them means maximizing what AWS Cloud has to offer, ensuring a foundation that’s robust today and adaptable for tomorrow. With AWS & DevOps re:Align, we’re here to help you navigate, identifying improvements across all six pillars.
