Operational Excellence
Monitor systems, define standards, automate and enable continuous improvement
Review your architecture against AWS best practices to identify areas for improvement
Streamline your architecture for operational excellence, cost optimization, and reliability
Reduce risk by protecting your data and system, and improve security and standards
Cloud deployments are distinct from traditional systems as they lend themselves to evolutionary changes and deliver continuous benefits. To take advantage of Cloud benefits, the underlying architecture must be solidly built on a foundation of security, reliability and self-healing capabilities.The AWS Well-Architected Framework provides a reference point to assess the qualities of a modern Cloud-based system and remediation required to achieve those qualities. Some questions the Framework answers include the following:
Monitor systems, define standards, automate and enable continuous improvement
Safeguard your information and data integrity, establish controls, and prevent security events
Prevent failure, automatic failover mechanisms, automate change request and plan remediation
Enable resource rightsizing, optimization, performance monitoring and constant cloud review
Track and analyze spend, eliminate expenditure and waste and enable elasticity with autoscaling
Ensure lasting success through responsible resource management & environmentally conscious practices
