The six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework

 

The general design principles and specific AWS best practices are organized into six conceptual areas.

 

These conceptual areas form the pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

 

These six pillars are:

 

operational excellence,

 

security,

 

reliability,

 

performance efficiency,

 

cost optimization, and

 

sustainability.

 

 

 

 

AWS Well-Architected Tool

 

AWS provides a service for reviewing your workloads at no charge called the AWS Well-Architected
Tool (AWS WA Tool).

 

This is an AWS cloud service that provides a consistent process for reviewing and
measuring your architecture using the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

 

The AWS WA Tool provides recommendations for making workloads more reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective.

 

 

AWS Well-Architected Labs

 

There is also a repository of code and documentation called AWS Well-Architected Labs, which provides hands-on experience in implementing best practices with the AWS Cloud. See https://www.wellarchitectedlabs.com
