Cloud Well-Architected Framework
Cloud Well-Architected Framework is a case interview framework for cloud migration, architecture, optimization. Use to evaluate whether an architecture is safe, scalable, resilient, and cost-effective
When to use it
Use to evaluate whether an architecture is safe, scalable, resilient, and cost-effective
Where it fits
Best for evaluating cloud solutions, design reviews, and architecture assessment
How to use it in a case
Assess each pillar (1-5 scale or maturity model). For each pillar, identify gaps and prioritize improvements. Use as checkpoint in architecture design process.
- Operational Excellence. Ability to run and monitor workloads, understand system behavior, procedures
- Security. Protect data, systems, and assets. Identity, access control, encryption, monitoring
- Reliability. Ability to recover from failures, scale to handle demand, prevent misconfiguration
- Performance Efficiency. Use computing resources efficiently, maintain performance as demand changes
- Cost Optimization. Avoid unnecessary costs, use right resources, understand spending, optimize over time
- Sustainability. Minimize environmental impact of cloud workloads
Case types
Cloud Migration, Architecture, Optimization.
