AWS Well Architected Framework : Exam Focus Notes


Version 1.0

Well Architected Framework Summary —

• AWS developed Well-Architected Framework (WAFW) to help cloud architects build the
most secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure possible for their
applications.
• WAFW provides a consistent approach for AWS customers and partners to evaluate
architectures, and provides guidance to help implement designs that will scale with your
application needs over time.
• The AWS Well-Architected framework includes strategies to help you compare your
workload against our best practices, and obtain guidance to produce stable and efficient
systems so you can focus on functional requirements.
• Key benefits of WAFW: (1) stop guessing the capacity needs, (2) understand the current
risks in your architecture, (3) understand trade-offs in making architecture decisions.
• WAFW five pillars: (1) Operation, (2) Security, (3) Reliability, (4) Performance, and (5)
Cost Optimization.
• Operational Pillar —
⁃ includes the ability to run and monitor systems to deliver business value and to
continually improve supporting processes and procedures.
⁃ Design principles:
⁃ Operation as a code
⁃ Annotate documentation
⁃ Make frequent, small, reversible changes.
⁃ Refine operation procedures frequently.
⁃ Anticipate failure.
⁃ Learn from all operational failures.

• Reliability Pillar —
⁃ includes the ability of a system to recover from infrastructure or service disruptions,
dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand, and mitigate disruptions
such as misconfigurations or transient network issues.
⁃ Design Principles:
⁃ Test recovery procedures.
⁃ Automatically recover from failure.
⁃ Scale horizontally to increase aggregate system availability.
⁃ Stop guessing capacity.
⁃ Manage change in automation.
⁃ Best Practice Areas:
⁃ Foundations.

• Cost Optimization Pillar —
⁃ includes the ability to avoid or eliminate unneeded cost or suboptimal resources.
⁃ Design Principles:
⁃ Adopt a consumption model.
⁃ Measure overall efficiency.
⁃ Stop spending money on data center operations.
⁃ Analyze and distribute expenditure.
⁃ Use managed services.
⁃ Best Practice Areas:
⁃ Cost-effective resources.
