Just as the Twelve-Factor App methodology was born from real world experience of deploying successful apps at Heroku, architects at AWS created the Well-Architected Framework to document best practices they observed when running workloads in the cloud. Originally announced as a whitepaper in October 2015, the Well-Architected Framework got center stage treatment at re:Invent 2016 during Werner Vogels' keynote address. Since then, it has evolved to become an indispensable resource when building and running workloads in AWS. But the Well-Architected Framework is massive, consisting of 6 core whitepapers that total over 400 pages. It would be easy to dismiss it as just another boring set of documents. But doing so would be a big mistake. There is a lot of gold to be found if you are willing to do some digging. In this episode of Mobycast, Jon and Chris kick off a three-part series where we grab our shovels and dig deep into the Well-Architected Framework and explain how you can best take advantage of this important resource.
