Well-Architected Pillars
The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.
Operational Excellence
This Guidance automates the process of copying archives from Amazon S3 Glacier vaults to S3 buckets, reducing manual effort and the risk of errors to improve operational efficiency. Moving data to different Amazon S3 storage classes enables storage cost optimization based on access patterns and retention requirements. The pre-built CloudWatch dashboard visualizes copy operation progress, providing better visibility into the data transfer process and enabling effective monitoring and troubleshooting.
Security
Lambda is a serverless compute service, which helps reduce the attack surface and responsibilities associated with managing underlying infrastructure. This minimizes user involvement in managing and securing compute resources, improving the overall security posture.
Reliability
The pre-built CloudWatch dashboard provides visibility into the data transfer process, allowing you to monitor progress and identify potential issues or bottlenecks. This enhanced visibility enables you to quickly detect and address reliability-related problems, helping ensure successful completion of data transfers. By using a serverless compute service that automatically scales and manages the underlying infrastructure, you can reduce the risk of infrastructure-related failures or performance degradation.
Performance Efficiency
Lambda functions are triggered based on events, such as the initiation of the data transfer process. The event-driven nature of Lambda functions optimizes performance by only executing necessary compute resources when required. This helps reduce overall resource utilization and improving efficiency. The automatic scaling and management of underlying infrastructure helps ensure that necessary compute resources are allocated on-demand.
Cost Optimization
By allowing users to move data to different Amazon S3 storage classes, this Guidance enables storage cost optimization based on access patterns and retention requirements. This helps reduce overall storage costs by placing frequently accessed data in performance-optimized storage classes while moving less frequently accessed data to more cost-effective storage classes. Lambda helps optimize costs by only charging for compute time used, rather than requiring users to manage and pay for underlying infrastructure.
Sustainability
Lambda reduces energy consumption and carbon footprint associated with managing and maintaining underlying infrastructure. Serverless computing leads to more efficient resource utilization and potentially lower energy usage compared to traditional server-based architectures.
