The 6 Pillars of AWS Well-Architected Framework
Are you familiar with the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework? You should be, since they are designed to ensure your AWS infrastructure is built and runs optimally, using industry best-practices.
The pillars are: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization and Sustainability. They are critical to your cloud success, and nOps can help you achieve compliance with these best-practices, and improve continuously on all five. We’re on it, while you’re busy running your business.
AWS solutions architects have identified best practices for architecting systems in the cloud. The result is the AWS Well-Architected Framework based on six pillars: Cost Optimization, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Operational Excellence and Sustainability.
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.
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.
