Well-Architected Framework Flashcards
What is Well Architected Framework?
a tool to measure architecture against best practices
Six pillars of the Well Architected Framework
- operational excellence
- security
- reliability
- performance efficiency
- cost optimization
- sustainability
What is Operational Excellence?
ability to run and monitor systems to run and monitor business value
What are the design principles of Operational Excellence?
- operations as code
- annotating documentation
- anticipating failure
- frequently making small reversible changes
What is Security in the Well Architected Framework?
ability to protect information, systems, and assets, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies
What are the design principles of Security?
- automate security best practices where possible
- apply security at all layers
- protect data in transit and at rest
What is Reliability in the Well Architected Framework?
recover from disruptions, dynamically acquire computing to meet demand, mitigate disruptions
What are the design principles of Reliability?
- testing recovery procedures
- scaling horizontally
- automatically recover from failure
What is Performance Efficiency in the Well Architected Framework?
maintain efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve
What are the design principles of Performance Efficiency?
- experimenting more often
- use serverless architetures
- design systems to go global in minutes
What is Cost Optimization in the Well Architected Framework?
deliver business value at lowest price
What are the design principles of Cost Optimization?
- adopt a consumption model
- analyze expenditure
- use managed services to reduce cost of ownership
What is Sustainability in the Well Architected Framework?
reducing energy consumption
What are the design principles of Sustainability?
- understand impact
- establish sustainability goals
- maximize utilization
- adopt more efficient sw and hw
- use managed services
- recude impact of cloud workloads
