Best Practices

Best Practices
• Operational excellence
• Security
• Reliability
• Performance efficiency
• Cost optimization
• Sustainability
AWS Well-Architected Framework

Operational excellence
• Continually improving quality process
• Design for failure
• Opportunities for improvement
• Clearly defined Promotion model for IaC

Operational Excellence – Promotion Model
Stable
Staging
Feature
• Holds IaC for services that are live on an Env
• Protected Branch ; Changes needs approval
• Holds IaC for services ready to go live
• Protected Branch ; Changes needs approval
• To apply changes to production or alpha

Security
• Infrastructure protection
• Centralized identities with SAML 2.0
• End-to-end Traceability
• Data Protection

Reliability
• Monitor workload Resources
• Adapt to changes in Demand
• Implement resiliency for reliable workload

Performance Efficiency
• Capability to deploy the workload in multiple AWS
Regions
• Use serverless architectures
• Monitor your resources

Cost Optimization
• Implement cloud financial management
• Monitor Cost and Usage
• Stop spending money on undifferentiated heavy
lifting

Sustainability
• Remove or refactor workload components with low or
no use
• Increase utilization of build environments
• Optimize areas of code that consume the most time or
resources
