What is AWS Well- Architected?
AWS solutions architects have identified best practices for architecting systems in the cloud. The result is the AWS Well-Architected Framework based on five pillars: Cost Optimization, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, and Operational Excellence.
AWS Well-Architected Framework Reviews, where critical workloads are assessed for compliance with the five pillars of Well-Architected, make the Framework actionable.
Why is this important to your business? A Well-Architected infrastructure can drive business results like reducing costs or security and compliance risk, improving the reliability of your core systems for better customer experiences, and much more.
How does nOps support AWS Well-Architected?
nOps provides automated discovery of your infrastructure’s alignment with AWS Well-Architected Framework guidelines and will accelerate and improve the accuracy of a Well-Architected Review or other AWS infrastructure assessment.
What’s more, since alignment with Well-Architected guidance should be monitored continuously (best practices are not one-and-done), nOps provides continuous compliance feedback on the health of your AWS infrastructure. This is powerful — as a follow-on to your Review or simply to drive good cloud practices.
