The Cloud Journey Flashcards
What is the AWS Well-Architected Framework
helps you understand how to design and operate reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the AWS Cloud
What are the 6 pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework
What is the Operational Excellence pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework
the ability to run and monitor systems to deliver business value and to continually improve supporting processes and procedures
What is the Security pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework
the ability to protect information, systems, and assets while delivering business value through risk assessments and mitigation strategies
What is the Reliability pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework
includes testing recovery procedures, scaling horizontally to increase aggregate system availability, and automatically recovering from failure
What is the Performance efficiency pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework
the ability to use computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements and to maintain that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve
What is the Cost optimization pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework
the ability to run systems to deliver business value at the lowest price point
What is the Sustainability pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework
the ability to continually improve sustainability impacts by reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency across all components of a workload by maximizing the benefits from the provisioned resources and minimizing the total resources required
What are the design principles for operational excellence in the cloud
performing operations as code, annotating documentation, anticipating failure, and frequently making small, reversible changes.
When considering the security of your architecture, what are the 3 best practices to apply
-Automate security best practices when possible
-Apply security at all layers.
-Protect data in transit and at rest
Reliability is the ability of a system to do the following 3 things
-Recover from infrastructure or service disruptions
-Dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand
-Mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues
What does evaluating the performance efficiency of your architecture include
experimenting more often, using serverless architectures, and designing systems to be able to go global in minutes
What does Cost optimization include
adopting a consumption model, analyzing and attributing expenditure, and using managed services to reduce the cost of ownership
What are the 6 principles to facilitate good design for sustainability
-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
