The 5 Pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework

The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps cloud architects build the most secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure possible for their applications. The framework provides a consistent approach for customers and AWS Partner Network to evaluate architectures, and provides guidance to implement designs that scale with your application needs over time.

1- Operational Excellence

The ability to support development and run workloads effectively, gain insight into their operations, and to continuously improve supporting processes and procedures to deliver business value.

2- Security

The security pillar encompasses the ability to protect data, systems, and assets to take advantage of cloud technologies to improve your security.

3- Reliability

The reliability pillar encompasses the ability of a workload to perform its intended function correctly and consistently when it’s expected to. This includes the ability to operate and test the workload through its total lifecycle. This paper provides in-depth, best practice guidance for implementing reliable workloads on AWS.

4- Performance Efficiency

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

5- Cost Optimization

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