Why Well‑Architected matters
The AWS Well‑Architected Framework provides a consistent approach to evaluate architectures and implement scalable designs. Following the pillars helps you reduce risk, accelerate delivery, and control costs while maintaining security and uptime. Cloudain embeds these principles into planning, build, and run.
- Designed for resilience & uptime
- Built with security‑first practices
- Performance tuned and right‑sized
- Cost optimized with FinOps guardrails
Cloudain’s Well‑Architected review includes
Workload discovery & risk register
IAM, encryption & network posture
HA/DR, SLOs & error budgets
Performance profiling & right‑sizing
Cost baseline & optimization plan
Actionable roadmap within 2 weeks*
*Timeline varies by workload scope.
How Cloudain follows the pillars
Our architects apply the framework continuously—during design reviews, before production launches, and on a cadence post‑go‑live. Below is how we operationalize each pillar.
Operational Excellence
- GitOps & automated change with CI/CD
- Runbooks, post‑incident reviews, KPIs
- Observability: logs, metrics, traces
Security
- Least‑privilege IAM & centralized identity
- Encryption in transit & at rest, KMS/CMK
- Network segmentation & zero‑trust patterns
Reliability
- Multi‑AZ/region patterns & DR testing
- SLOs, error budgets, graceful degradation
- Chaos & failure injection where safe
Performance Efficiency
- Load testing & APM‑driven tuning
- Autoscaling, serverless‑first where viable
- Caching, CDN, data access optimization
Cost Optimization
- Cost KPIs, budgets & alerts (FinOps)
- Right‑sizing, savings plans & spot
- Continuous cost regressions in CI
Sustainability (optional)
- Region selection & utilization efficiency
- Carbon‑aware scheduling where applicable
- Lifecycle policies to reduce waste
We apply Well‑Architected beyond a single vendor, mapping pillars to AWS, Azure, and GCP services so you avoid lock‑in while keeping guardrails and consistency.
