In recent years we have been working closely with AWS and have grown fond of the AWS Well-Architected Framework as a great support for building new solutions or improving existing. It is simple but comprehensive and builds on 5 strong pillars:
Operational Excellence – The ability to run and monitor systems to deliver business value and to continually improve supporting processes and procedures.
Security – The ability to protect information, systems, and assets while delivering business value through risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
Reliability – The ability of a system to recover from infrastructure or service disruptions, dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand, and mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues.
Performance Efficiency – The ability to use computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements, and to maintain that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.
Cost Optimisation – The ability to run systems to deliver business value at the lowest price point.
There is always room for improvement and we are here to assess current state, and suggest optimisations, for you to pick and choose from. The list produced can be implemented by any skilled team, be that your existing team or ours.
