AWS Well-Architected helps cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications and workloads. Based on five pillars — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization — AWS Well-Architected provides a consistent approach for customers and partners to evaluate architectures, and implement designs that can scale over time.
The AWS Well-Architected Framework started as a single whitepaper but has expanded to include domain-specific lenses, hands-on labs, and the AWS Well-Architected Tool. The AWS WA Tool, available at no cost in the AWS Management Console, provides a mechanism for regularly evaluating your workloads, identifying high risk issues, and recording your improvements.
AWS has an ecosystem of hundreds of members of the Well-Architected Partner Program. Engage a partner in your area to help you analyze and review your applications.
