If you missed that episode, hit pause now and go listen to that one first. It's ok, we'll wait for you. Now, in this episode of Mobycast, Jon and Chris continue their three-part series on the AWS Well-Architected Framework and discuss the next two pillars of excellence: "Security" and "Reliability". 7c3be872-42b1-45d7-885a-1a45ddde1830 https://mobycast.fm/episode/79-are-you-well-architected-the-well-architected-framework-part-2/ Wed, 25 Sep 2019 20:00:00 +0000 3880 false full Are You Well Architected? The Well-Architected Framework - Part 1 78 Mobycast.fm Just as the Twelve-Factor App methodology was born from real world experience of deploying successful apps at Heroku, architects at AWS created the Well-Architected Framework to document best practices they observed when running workloads in the cloud. Just as the Twelve-Factor App methodology was born from real world experience of deploying successful apps at Heroku, architects at AWS created the Well-Architected Framework to document best practices they observed when running workloads in the cloud. Originally announced as a whitepaper in October 2015, the Well-Architected Framework got center stage treatment at re:Invent 2016 during Werner Vogels' keynote address. Since then, it has evolved to become an indispensable resource when building and running workloads in AWS. But the Well-Architected Framework is massive, consisting of 6 core whitepapers that total over 400 pages. It would be easy to dismiss it as just another boring set of documents. But doing so would be a big mistake. There is a lot of gold to be found if you are willing to do some digging. In this episode of Mobycast, Jon and Chris kick off a three-part series where we grab our shovels and dig deep into the Well-Architected Framework and explain how you can best take advantage of this important resource.
