‫So now let's talk about
‫the AWS Well-Architected Tool.
‫So the idea is that you want to review your architectures
‫against the six pillars we've just learned about
‫in the Well-Architected Framework
‫and then you want to adapt architectural best practices.
‫And so this is what it will look,
‫I will show you the hands on in a second.
‫And so how does it work?
‫Well you select your workload,
‫then you answer a few questions,
‫then you review your answers against the six pillars
‫in the Well-Architected Tool, Framework, sorry.
‫And then you obtain advice.
‫You get videos, documentation, you get reports and so on.
‫So let's have a look at how it works in the console.
‫So here I am in the console of the
‫AWS Well-Architected Tool,
‫and I can go ahead and define a workload.
‫So I'll call this Demo Workload
‫and you can add in some description, a review owner,
‫so, the description, then the review owner would be
‫john@example.com, and then what environment you're in.
‫So production, pre-production,
‫the regions you're operating in, for example, one,
‫and then if you're operating Non-AWS regions and so on.
‫The account IDs you're in, and so on and so on.
‫So you answer these things
‫and then you apply lenses to your workload.
‫So you can have these lenses such as
‫the Well-Architected Framework itself,
‫or the FTR Lens.
‫Or other lenses, the Serverless Lens,
‫the SaaS Lens, and so on.
‫And then you could also define your own custom lens
‫if you wanted to.
‫But, we'll just use is right now,
‫the AWS Well-Architected Framework lens.
‫So we click on Define Workload.
‫And then we can start reviewing
‫and start answering questions.
‫So the idea is that we'll start reviewing, and then this,
‫and the idea is that you're going to get questions
‫regarding all the six pillars in AWS.
‫So you get questions on operational excellence, security,
‫reliability, performance efficiency,
‫cost optimization, and sustainability.
‫And so you answer every question.
‫So you say, okay, these are my answers for this question.
‫And you say next.
‫And then you go into this one, you say,
‫this doesn't apply to my workload and here is the reason.
‫And then I click on next, and then so on and so.
‫And so you can see you have lots of questions
‫in lots of different areas,
‫so you can go to security, and I can say, okay,
‫I implement all these things for data in transit,
‫click on next.
‫And then when you're done,
‫and you can take a lot of time of course,
‫but this is for serious production application.
‫You click on Save and Exit,
‫and then you're going to get some risks.
‫So high risk, medium risk, and so on.
‫And so you can save this milestone
‫and say, okay, this is my first draft.
‫And click on save.
‫And in here, we can have a look at the lenses itself, so.
‫So I click on this lens.
‫And now because of my answered questions,
‫I have two risks being evaluated.
‫So I can go to improvement plan
‫and see that there is a high risk here
‫and a medium risk here.
‫And it gives me improvement items that link
‫to the documentation based on my answer.
‫So it's quite helpful for your teams to
‫go through this framework to make sure
‫that your applications are Well-Architected.
‫And in case they're not Well,
‫you get improvement areas, as well as
‫documentation links to make sure you are
‫running at your best.
‫Okay, that's it for this lecture.
‫I hope you liked it.
‫And I will see you in the next lecture.
