Question 1

Aws Well-Architected Framework

Answer 1

Operational excellence
Security
Reliability
Performance efficiency
Cost optimization
Sustainability

Question 2

Operational excellence

Answer 2

The ability to run a monitor systems to deliver business value and to continually improve supporting processes and procedures.

Design principles for operational excellence in the cloud include performing operations as code, annotating documentation, anticipating failure, and frequently making small, reversible changes.

Question 3

Security

Answer 3

The security pillar is the ability to protect information, systems, and assets while delivering business value through risk assessments and mitigation strategies.

Automate security best practices when possible.
Apply security at all layers.
Protect #DATA in transit and at rest.

Question 4

Reliability

Answer 4

Is the ability of a system to do the following:

Recover from infrastructure or service disruptions

Dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand

Mitigate disruptions such as Miss configurations or transient network issues

Reliability includes testing recovery procedures, scaling horizontally to increase aggregate system availability, and automatically recovering from failure.

Question 5

Performance efficiency

Answer 5

The ability to use computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements and to maintain that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.

Evaluating the performance efficiency of your architecture includes experimenting more often, using serverless architecture’s, and designing systems to be able to go global in minutes.

Question 6

Cost optimization

Answer 6

The ability to run systems to deliver business value at the lowest price point.

Cost optimization includes adopting in a consumption model, analyzing in attributing expenditure, and using managed services to reduce the cost of ownership.

Question 7

Sustainability

Answer 7

Sustainability is the ability to continually improve sustainability impacts by reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency across all components of workload by maximizing the benefit from the provision resources in minimizing the total resources required.

Understand your impact
Establish sustainability goals
Maximize utilization
Anticipate and adopt new, more efficient hardware and software offerings.
Use managed services
Reduce the downstream impact of your cloud workloads.


Question 8

Six advantages of cloud computing

Answer 8

Trade upfront expense for variable expense.

Benefit from massive economies of scale.

Stop guessing capacity.

Increase speed and agility.

Stop spending money running in maintaining data centers.

Go global in minutes.
