Assessment processes with AWS Well-Architected
In today's post we will expand our knowledge about Well-Architected Review, framework of best practices architecture offered by AWS and which is composed of six different pillars that are fundamental to the success of your workloads. If you have not read yet We leave our previous post here for you.
Optimize your cloud environment
Well Architected Review is a service offered by AWS which includes a series of processes to evaluate and improve the architecture of an application or cloud infrastructure.
These processes followed by the service are based on Amazon Web Services best practices to ensure that the architectures are secure, efficient, and cost-effective. These practices are detailed in a comprehensive AWS technical document.
On the other hand, reviews carried out with AWS Well Architected Review are recommended every 12 or 18 months to perform a health assessment of workloads and benchmark against AWS best practices.
The six fundamental pillars of well-designed architecture:
- Eoperational excellence
- Security
- Reliability
- Performance efficiency
- Cost optimization
- Sustainability
During an architecture review, the team of AWS experts works with customers to thoroughly examine their architecture and provide recommendations for optimizing it. The process typically consists of several stages, which may include:
- Initial meeting: At this stage, the specialized partner meets with clients to understand their current goals, requirements and challenges. Information is also gathered about the architecture and resources used.
- Pillar evaluation: It consists of an in-depth review of how best practices are implemented in each pillar, the identification of areas for improvement, and an assessment of the level of adoption of AWS recommendations.
- Analysis and recommendations: Findings are analyzed and specific recommendations are provided for improving the architecture. These may include configuration changes, implementing additional AWS services, or adopting new practices.
- Action plan: The designated team works with clients to develop a detailed action plan. This plan includes identifying the necessary tasks, setting priorities, and defining timelines for implementing the proposed improvements.
- Implementation and monitoring: The client is responsible for implementing the recommended improvements according to the agreed action plan. After implementation, additional monitoring can be performed to assess the impact of the changes and make adjustments if necessary.
Additionally, AWS offers a variety of tools and services to help customers implement these best practices and effectively optimize their cloud architecture.
