The Value of AWS Well-Architected Review
At AWS, solution architects have leveraged their years of experience to put together a comprehensive set of best practices for architecting & running systems in the cloud and created the AWS Well-Architected. The AWS Well-Architected Review (AWS WAR) enables enterprises to evaluate their cloud infrastructure against the best practices even as their business needs and workloads evolve over time and circumstances. With AWS Well-Architected Review, enterprises can measure architectures and operations and identify areas of improvement.

6 pillars of AWS Well-Architected Framework
The AWS Well-Architected framework helps build and operate secure, resilient, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the cloud. The AWS Well-Architected framework is based on five pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, and Cost Optimization and presents a set of foundational questions for reviewing proposed or existing architectures.
Operational Excellence Pillar
Provides guidance on defining standards to manage operations, improving processes, responding to planned/unplanned events, monitoring and running AWS workloads effectively.
Security Pillar
Focuses on protecting data & systems, controlling access (Identity and Access Management), identifying potential security threats, and mitigating the impact of security incidents.
Reliability Pillar
Addresses resiliency, availability, disaster recovery, ensuring AWS workloads perform their function correctly and consistently, mitigating/recovering from any infrastructure or service disruptions.
Performance Efficiency Pillar
Guides about selecting the right resource types, using computing resources efficiently, monitoring continuously to get optimal performance across all AWS workloads.
Cost Optimization Pillar
Emphasizes on avoiding overspending on cloud resources by analyzing, controlling, monitoring and spending right based on the business needs/requirements.
Sustainability Pillar
Design your AWS cloud architecture based on long-term societal, economical, and environmental business sustainability goals. Manage operations to save resources, implement software for consistent asset utilization and load management, and analyze data patterns for efficiency and sustainability.
