SUS02-BP05 Optimize team member resources for activities performed - AWS Well-Architected Framework (2022-03-31)

SUS02-BP05 Optimize team member resources for activities performed

Optimize resources provided to team members to minimize the sustainability impact while supporting their needs. For example, perform complex operations, such as rendering and compilation, on highly utilized shared cloud desktops instead of on underutilized high-powered single-user systems.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Low

Implementation guidance

  • Provision workstations and other devices to align with how they’re used.

  • Use virtual desktops and application streaming to limit upgrade and device requirements.

  • Move processor or memory-intensive tasks to the cloud.

  • Evaluate the impact of processes and systems on your device lifecycle, and select solutions that minimize the requirement for device replacement while satisfying business requirements.

  • Implement remote management for devices to reduce required business travel.
