What is the Well Architected Framework?
The Well-Architected Framework (WAF) includes strategies to help you compare your workload against best practices and get guidance so that you can focus on your business.
The Well-Architected Framework has been developed to help cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications. Five pillars are defined within the framework — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimisation. The framework provides a consistent approach for evaluating architectures and implement designs that will scale reliably and securely over time.
TechConnect IT Solutions are available to help you along the way as you build and manage your workloads.
Pillars
Cost Optimisation
Cost Optimisation focuses on avoiding un-needed costs. Key topics include understanding and controlling where money is being spent, selecting the most appropriate and right number of resource types, analysing spend over time, and scaling to meet business needs without overspending.
Performance Efficiency
The performance efficiency pillar focuses on using IT and computing resources efficiently. Key topics include selecting the right resource types and sizes based on workload requirements, monitoring performance, and making informed decisions to maintain efficiency as business needs evolve.
Security
The security pillar focuses on protecting information & systems. Key topics include confidentiality and integrity of data, identifying and managing who can do what with privilege management, protecting systems, and establishing controls to detect security events.
Operational Excellence
The operational excellence pillar focuses on running and monitoring systems to deliver business value, and continually improving processes and procedures. Key topics include managing and automating changes, responding to events, and defining standards to successfully manage daily operations.
