Introduction to the Azure Well-Architected Framework
Categories:
The Azure Well-Architected Framework is a framework to improve the quality of your Microsoft Azure Deployment. This does it by spanning 5 pillars so an architect can determine with IT decision makers how they can get the most Azure with the planned budget.
The 5 pillars of the Well-Architected Framework are:
| Pillar | Target |
| Reliability | The ability to recover a system and/or contine to work |
| Security | Secure the environment in all spots |
| Cost Optimization | Maximize the value when minimizing the costs |
| Operational Excellence | The processes that keep a system running |
| Performance Efficiency | The ability to adapt to changes |
Like it is shown in the image up here is that the Well-Architected Framework is the heart of all Cloud processes. Without this well done, all other processes can fail.
Review your Azure design
Microsoft has a tool available to test your architecting skills ath the following page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/assessments/azure-architecture-review/
With this tool you can link your existing environment/subscription or answer questions about your environment and cloud goal. The tool will give feedback on what to improve and how.
I filled in the tool with some answers and my result was this:
I only filled in the pillars Reliability and Security and filled it in as bad as possible to get as much as advices to improve. This looks like this:
