In this episode, we dive deep into the first pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework: operational excellence. Operational excellence focuses on the ability to run and monitor systems effectively, and to continuously improve processes and procedures over time. We’ll break down key practices like monitoring, incident response, and evolving procedures based on performance feedback to ensure that your systems are always operating at peak efficiency.
We’ll also explore tools that AWS offers, such as CloudWatch and AWS Systems Manager, which can help you automate operations and monitor system health. This pillar is critical for maintaining ongoing performance and ensuring that your infrastructure can scale reliably as your business needs grow. By understanding operational excellence, you’ll be better prepared to optimize your AWS environment and maintain high performance throughout your system’s lifecycle.
