The AWS Well-Architected Framework helps you make informed decisions about your customers' architectures and understand the impacts of design decisions. By using this framework, you will become aware of the risks in your architecture and ways to mitigate them. This course is designed to provide a deep dive into the Well-Architected Framework and its six pillars. You will learn about the AWS Well-Architected Review process and how to use the AWS Well-Architected Tool to complete reviews.
After the course is complete, and you have passed the assessment with a 80 percent or higher score, you will be granted a digital Well-Architected Proficient badge. This badge verifies the achievement of completing this course and passing the assessment.
