AWS Well-Architected Framework for Terraform
The AWS Well-Architected Framework defines six pillars of cloud architecture quality. ArchGuard reviews Terraform infrastructure against all six — Security, Reliability, Cost Optimization, Operational Excellence, Performance Efficiency, and Sustainability — and delivers findings as a branded PDF. These guides explain what each pillar requires, how it applies to Terraform specifically, and what ArchGuard looks for in your HCL.
Identity and access management, data protection, infrastructure protection, detection, and incident response — with Terraform HCL examples.
Automatic recovery, horizontal scaling, change management in automation, and testing recovery procedures — with Terraform patterns.
Cloud financial management, expenditure awareness, cost-effective resource selection, and demand management — in Terraform.
Operations as code, frequent small reversible changes, anticipating failure, and learning from operational events — in Terraform.
Instance sizing, auto-scaling, caching layers, database engine fit, and elastic resource use — in Terraform.
Right-sizing, Graviton and Spot usage, idle-resource detection, and energy-efficient patterns — in Terraform.
