Architecture Framework

Each Cloud provider suggests the best design principles which are the set of pillars to build solutions by using the various services. Below are the design principles, suggested by major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) –?

• Operational Excellence?
• Security
• Reliability
• Performance Efficiency
• Cost Optimization

?In this article, We will get high level overview of each principle.?

?Operational Excellence –?Our Solution design should focus on running and monitoring systems to measure the agility, reliability, and performance of the system. We should consider how to deliver business value, and continually improving processes and procedures.?

Security –?Security is a very important aspect of designing the solution for any cloud provider. While designing, we must take care of complete data protection, access and identity management, physical infra protection. We must apply security at each level and implement tools & processes to trace the security breaches.

Reliability –?Under reliability, we make sure the system is designed to detect failure, automatically heal itself, and equipped with mechanisms for handling changes in demand or requirements.?

Performance Efficiency –?We focus on efficient use of computing resources to meet requirements as well as maintain that efficiency as the demand changes and technologies evolve. Solution Design should have the right resource type and size as per requirements.?

Cost Optimization –?Our Solution design should include processes and tools to optimize the cost by eliminating the unused resource and keep the track of spending.?
