The Security pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework is focused on ensuring that workloads are designed, deployed, and managed in a secure manner. It includes implementing security best practices, such as protecting data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, managing user access and privileges, and implementing network and application-level security controls.

As businesses increasingly migrate their applications and infrastructure to the cloud, ensuring resiliency becomes paramount to maintain service availability and minimize disruptions. Resilient cloud architectures are designed to withstand failures and recover quickly from disruptions, offering enhanced reliability and performance. This article provides an overview of resiliency patterns and trade-offs that can help architects build efficient and robust cloud solutions.

In today's cloud computing landscape, cost optimization plays a crucial role in maximizing the value of your infrastructure. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a range of services to help users achieve cost efficiency, and one such option is leveraging Graviton processors for Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service). You can save up to 10% in RDS compute costs by switching from x86 to Graviton processors. We cover the advantages and things to consider on this post, and how Stream.Security can help determine where you can make this switch.

Amazon GuardDuty serves as a threat detection solution that employs machine learning and various methodologies to detect malevolent activities and unauthorized conduct within your AWS accounts and workloads.

The Sustainability pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework focuses on integrating sustainability considerations into the design, development, and operation of cloud workloads. This includes reducing the environmental impact of IT operations, promoting sustainable practices, and providing tools and resources to measure and report on sustainability performance.

‍The Cost Optimization pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework provides guidance on how to design and operate workloads in the cloud to optimize costs. It helps organizations identify opportunities to reduce costs, eliminate waste, and improve efficiency without sacrificing performance, security, or functionality. The Cost Optimization pillar is focused on helping organizations achieve maximum business value by minimizing costs and maximizing returns on cloud investments.

The Performance Efficiency of the AWS Well-Architected Framework is focused on optimizing the use of computing resources to meet performance requirements and efficiently deliver business value.
