Q

Name the 6 AWS WAF General Design Principles.

A
  1. Stop guessing your capacity needs
  2. Test Systems at production scale
  3. Automate with architectural experimentation in mind
  4. Consider evolutionary architectures
  5. Drive architectures using data
  6. Improve through game days
20
Q

Name the WAF General Design Principle:
If you make a poor capacity decision when deploying a workload, you might end up sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with the performance implications of limited capacity. With cloud computing, these problems can go away. You can use as much or as little capacity as you need, and scale in and out automatically.

A

Stop guessing your capacity needs

21
Q

Name the WAF General Design Principle:
In the cloud, you can create a production-scale test environment on demand, complete your testing, and then decommission the resources. Because you only pay for the test environment when it’s running, you can simulate your live environment for a fraction of the cost of testing on premises.

A

Test systems at production scale

22
Q

Name the WAF General Design Principle:
Automation permits you to create and replicate your workloads at low cost and avoid the expense of manual effort. You can track changes to your automation, audit the impact, and revert to previous parameters when necessary.

A

Automate with architectural experimentation in mind

23
Q

Name the WAF General Design Principle:
In a traditional environment, architectural decisions are often implemented as static, onetime events, with a few major versions of a system during its lifetime. As a business and its context continue to evolve, these initial decisions might hinder the system’s ability to deliver changing business requirements. In the cloud, the capability to automate and test on demand lowers the risk of impact from design changes. This permits systems to evolve over time so that businesses can take advantage of innovations as a standard practice.

A

Consider evolutionary architectures

24
Q

Name the WAF General Design Principle:
In the cloud, you can collect data on how your architectural choices affect the behavior of your workload. This lets you make fact-based decisions on how to improve your workload. Your cloud infrastructure is code, so you can use that data to inform your architecture choices and improvements over time.

A

Drive architectures using data

25
Q

Name the WAF General Design Principle:
Test how your architecture and processes perform by regularly scheduling game days to simulate events in production. This will help you understand where improvements can be made and can help develop organizational experience in dealing with events.

A

Improve through game days

26
