Get on with the Cloud WAR with Locuz & AWS
Proposing to you a 1:1 hands-on Well-Architected exercise led by Locuz,
an AWS WAR Competency Partner
Considering the rapid adoption of the Cloud, and increased use of data to drive better business outcomes, the security and reliability of systems have gained increased importance.
AWS Well-Architected framework Review helps cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for a variety of applications and workloads. Built around six pillars—operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability—AWS WAR provides a consistent approach for customers and partners to evaluate architectures and implement scalable designs.
It helps you understand the pros and cons of your decisions while building AWS systems. By using this Framework, you will learn architectural best practices for designing and operating reliable and cost-effective systems in the cloud.
Built around its 6 Pillars of Excellence
Operational Excellence Pillar
The operational excellence pillar focuses on running and monitoring systems, and continually improving processes and procedures. Key topics Include automating changes, responding to events, and defining standards to manage daily operations.
Security Pillar
The security pillar focuses on protecting information and systems.
Key topics include confidentiality and integrity of data, managing user permissions, and establishing controls to detect security events.
Reliability Pillar
The reliability pillar focuses on workloads performing their intended functions and how to recover quickly from failure to meet demands. Key topics include distributed system design, recovery planning, and adapting to changing requirements.
Performance Efficiency Pillar
The performance efficiency pillar focuses on structured and streamlined allocation of IT and computing resources. Key topics include selecting resource types and sizes optimized for workload requirements, monitoring performance, and maintaining efficiency as business needs evolve.
Cost Optimization Pillar
The cost optimization pillar focuses on avoiding unnecessary costs.
Key topics include understanding spending over time and controlling fund allocation, selecting resources of the right type and quantity, and scaling to meet business needs without overspending.
Sustainability Pillar
The sustainability pillar focuses on minimizing the environmental impacts of running cloud workloads. Key topics include a shared responsibility model for sustainability, understanding impact, and maximizing utilization to minimize required resources and reduce downstream impacts.
How does that benefit you?
- Build and deploy faster: By reducing firefighting, and capacity management and by using automation, you can experiment, release, and realise value more often.
- Lower or mitigate risks: Understand where you have risks in your architecture and address them before they impact your business and distract your team.
- Make informed decisions: Ensure you have made active architectural decisions that highlight how they might impact your business outcomes.
- Learn AWS Best Practices: Make sure your teams know the best practices we have learned through reviewing thousands of customers’ architectures on AWS.
