In this articleThe Azure Well-Architected Framework is a set of guiding tenets that can be used to improve the quality of a workload. The framework consists of five pillars of architectural excellence:
Incorporating these pillars helps produce a high quality, stable, and efficient cloud architecture:
Reference the following video about how to architect successful workloads on Azure with the Well-Architected Framework: OverviewThe following diagram gives a high-level overview of the Azure Well-Architected Framework:
In the center, is the Well-Architected Framework, which includes the five pillars of architectural excellence. Surrounding the Well-Architected Framework are six supporting elements:
Assess your workloadTo assess your workload using the tenets found in the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework, see the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Review. We also recommend you use Azure Advisor and Advisor Score to identify and prioritize opportunities to improve the posture of your workloads. Both services are free to all Azure users and align to the five pillars of the Well-Architected Framework:
ReliabilityA reliable workload is one that is both resilient and available. Resiliency is the ability of the system to recover from failures and continue to function. The goal of resiliency is to return the application to a fully functioning state after a failure occurs. Availability is whether your users can access your workload when they need to. For more information about resiliency, reference the following video that will show you how to start improving the reliability of your Azure workloads: Reliability guidanceThe following topics offer guidance on designing and improving reliable Azure applications:
For an overview of reliability principles, reference Principles of the reliability pillar. SecurityThink about security throughout the entire lifecycle of an application, from design and implementation to deployment and operations. The Azure platform provides protections against various threats, such as network intrusion and DDoS attacks. But you still need to build security into your application and into your DevOps processes. Ask the right questions about secure application development on Azure by referencing the following video: Security guidanceConsider the following broad security areas:
For more information, reference Overview of the security pillar. Cost optimizationWhen you're designing a cloud solution, focus on generating incremental value early. Apply the principles of Build-Measure-Learn, to accelerate your time to market while avoiding capital-intensive solutions. For more information, reference Cost optimization and the following video on how to start optimizing your Azure costs: Cost guidanceThe following topics offer cost optimization guidance as you develop the Well-Architected Framework for your workload:
For a high-level overview, reference Overview of the cost optimization pillar. Operational excellenceOperational excellence covers the operations and processes that keep an application running in production. Deployments must be reliable and predictable. Automate deployments to reduce the chance of human error. Fast and routine deployment processes won't slow down the release of new features or bug fixes. Equally important, you must quickly roll back or roll forward if an update has problems. For more information, reference the following video about bringing security into your DevOps practice on Azure: Operational excellence guidanceThe following topics provide guidance on designing and implementing DevOps practices for your Azure workload:
For a high-level summary, reference Overview of the operational excellence pillar. Performance efficiencyPerformance efficiency is the ability of your workload to scale to meet the demands placed on it by users in an efficient manner. The main ways to achieve performance efficiency include using scaling appropriately and implementing PaaS offerings that have scaling built in. For more information, watch Performance Efficiency: Fast & Furious: Optimizing for Quick and Reliable VM Deployments. Performance efficiency guidanceThe following topics offer guidance on how to design and improve the performance efficiency posture of your Azure workload:

FeedbackSubmit and view feedback for Which actions are consistent with the operational excellence pillar of the AWS well?There are five design principles for operational excellence in the cloud:. Perform operations as code.. Make frequent, small, reversible changes.. Refine operations procedures frequently.. Anticipate failure.. Learn from all operational failures.. Which of the following are pillars of the AWS wellThe AWS Well-Architected Framework is based on six pillars — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability.
Which AWS service is the key to operational excellence?Using AWS CloudFormation enables you to have consistent, templated, sandbox development, test, and production environments with increasing levels of operations control. The following questions focus on these considerations for operational excellence .
What are the three components of the operational excellence process AWS?Organizations that have the ability to be operationally excellent will have a culture of continuous improvement driven by a desire to create business value..
