Framework
• The Well-Architected Framework provides
recommendations to help architects,
developers, administrators, and other cloud
practitioners design and operate a cloud
topology that's secure, efficient, resilient,
high-performing, and cost-effective.
Framework Pillars
• Operational Excellence: Efficiently deploy,
operate, monitor, and manage cloud
workloads.
• Security, Privacy, and Compliance: Maximize
the security of data and workloads.
• Reliability: Design and operate resilient and
highly available workloads.
• Cost Optimization: Maximize the value of your
investment in Google Cloud.
• Performance Optimization: Design and tune
Core Principles
• Design for Change: Build processes that allow
for frequent updates and fast feedback.
• Document Your Architecture: Maintain clear
and useful documentation to facilitate
communication and guide design decisions.
• Simplify Your Design: Use fully managed
services to reduce complexity.
• Decouple Your Architecture: Separate
applications into smaller components for
flexibility.
Design for Change
• No system is static. Build a development and
production process that regularly delivers
small changes with fast feedback.
• Monitor speed, ease, and safety of changes
with metrics like DORA's software delivery
metrics.
Document Your Architecture
• Documentation ensures clarity,
communication, and alignment. Quality
documentation helps visualize the
architecture and supports design decisions.
Use cases and change logs are essential.
Simplify and Use Managed Services
• Reduce complexity by using fully managed
services where feasible. Start simple and
improve incrementally to avoid over-
engineering.
Decouple Your Architecture
• Break down applications into independent
components for flexibility, security, and
performance management. Supports
continuous delivery and reduces risks.
Use Stateless Architecture
• Stateless architecture enhances reliability and
scalability. Applications can scale up quickly
without significant local dependencies,
offering better performance and lower
downtime.
