Designing Well Architected Framework Workshop - Deep Dive
Secure, Efficient, Resilient, High-performing, Sustainable, and Cost-effective
Are your applications well-architected? This talk will explore the best practices for operational excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, and cost optimization. Think of systems and services which provide business values. Do you know if all of these services are well-architected? You will learn how to create mechanisms, a repeatable process that allows you to improve over time. We will explore the best practices using real-world examples to make them more concrete and actionable.
Well-Architected helps cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for various applications and workloads. They are built around six pillars—operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability.
Join expert Rohit Bhardwaj to gain the knowledge and skills you need to solve current cloud implementation problems.
