Well-Architected Framework
Introduction
The
AWS
Well-Architected Framework
The AWS Well-Architected Framework is based on six pillars:
-
Operational Excellence
-
Security
-
Reliability
-
Performance Efficiency
-
Cost Optimization
-
Sustainability
This paper focuses on the reliability pillar and how to apply it to your solutions. Achieving reliability can be challenging in traditional on-premises environments due to single points of failure, lack of automation, and lack of elasticity. By adopting the practices in this paper you will build architectures that have strong foundations, resilient architecture, consistent change management, and proven failure recovery processes.
This paper is intended for those in technology roles, such as chief technology officers (CTOs), architects, developers, and operations team members. After reading this paper, you will understand AWS best practices and strategies to use when designing cloud architectures for reliability. This paper includes high-level implementation details and architectural patterns, as well as references to additional resources.
