Optimize Your Cloud With the AWS Well-Architected Framework
After adopting cloud technology, how do you determine whether your workloads on AWS are optimized for efficiency, elasticity, and resilience? That’s where Cloudelligent comes to the rescue. We utilize the AWS Well-Architected Framework which provides a consistent set of best practices to evaluate your entire AWS environment, and then offer actionable insights to enhance performance, security, and cost-effectiveness.
Maximize Your AWS Investments
Even after utilizing the latest AWS technology, businesses may not see any fruitful returns if their cloud infrastructures are not optimized. Running workloads on AWS over a period of time also leads to performance degradation and efficiency loss. Performing regular reviews against the AWS Well Architected Framework is a crucial step in evaluating the operationality and integrity of your AWS environment.
What is the AWS Well-Architected Framework?
After years of experience in designing and reviewing thousands of customers’ successful architectures, the engineers at AWS have identified best practices and created these six pillars.
- Operational Excellence: Run and monitor systems to deliver business value, and continually improve processes.
- Security: Protect information, systems, and assets.
- Reliability: Scale dynamically and quickly recover from failures or disruptions.
- Performance Efficiency: Use cloud resources efficiently to match business requirements.
- Cost optimization: Gain visibility into cloud spend and minimize costs.
- Sustainability: Minimize the environmental impacts of running workloads on AWS.
