AWS Well-Architected Framework: Building Production-Grade Architectures
<p>When ParcelPilot's biggest prospect makes a completed AWS Well-Architected Review a condition of signing, Naomi Reyes, the startup's first dedicated infrastructure engineer, discovers just how many corners were cut to ship fast: a wide-open security group, an EC2 role with AdministratorAccess, a single-AZ database, and a cost structure nobody has ever revisited. Across three lessons you'll walk the six Well-Architected pillars against her real, flawed architecture, run an actual Well-Architected Review using the AWS console tool and write up the risks it surfaces, prioritize which findings to fix now versus consciously accept for later under a real deadline, and then implement the highest-priority fixes — Multi-AZ, least-privilege IAM, rotated credentials, and a budget alert — before re-running the review to prove the risk count actually went down.</p>
