The AWS Well-Architected Framework

 The AWS Well-Architected Framework

The AWS Well-Architected Framework is a collection of best practices for designing and running cloud applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's designed to help cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and cost-efficient infrastructure.

The framework is built around six pillars:

• Operational Excellence - This pillar focuses on running and monitoring your systems effectively to deliver business value.
• Security - This pillar focuses on protecting your data, systems, and assets in the cloud.
• Reliability - This pillar focuses on building systems that are resilient to failure and can recover quickly from disruptions.
• Performance Efficiency - This pillar focuses on optimizing your systems for performance and cost.
• Cost Optimization - This pillar focuses on finding ways to save money on your AWS bill.
• Sustainability - This pillar focuses on designing and operating your systems in a way that reduces their environmental impact.

For each pillar, the AWS Well-Architected Framework provides a set of design principles and best practices. These can be used to evaluate your existing architecture or to design a new architecture.
