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
Outposts , Lambda , and Amazon ECS Anywhere provide low-latency edge capabilities for the retail store, ensuring a superior customer experience, quickly.
Security
Both Direct Connect and Site-to-Site VPN provide secure connections between the retail store and the AWS Cloud. And, by using IAM and AWS KMS for securing and encrypting the data, you can continually adjust permissions on the journey to least privilege.
Reliability
The availability and reliability of managed services such as Aurora , DynamoDB , and Step Functions are essential for ensuring the stability and scalability of your infrastructure.
Performance Efficiency
DynamoDB , Amazon S3 , and Aurora are used as core components of this Guidance to power performance-intensive workloads.
Cost Optimization
Serverless services such as Lambda , Step Functions , and EventBridge are used extensively throughout this Guidance to help you build and operate cost-aware workloads that achieve business outcomes, while minimizing costs. Maximizing your return on this investment.
Sustainability
AWS services enable you to maximize the benefits of your resources while reducing your carbon footprint. The services selected in this Guidance help you scale both up and down according to demand.
