PERF 1. How do you select appropriate cloud resources and architecture for your workload?

The optimal solution for a particular workload varies, and solutions often combine multiple approaches. Well-Architected workloads use multiple solutions and allow different features to improve performance.

Best practices

• PERF01-BP01 Learn about and understand available cloud services and features
• PERF01-BP02 Use guidance from your cloud provider or an appropriate partner to learn about architecture patterns and best practices
• PERF01-BP03 Factor cost into architectural decisions
• PERF01-BP04 Evaluate how trade-offs impact customers and architecture efficiency
• PERF01-BP05 Use policies and reference architectures
• PERF01-BP06 Use benchmarking to drive architectural decisions
• PERF01-BP07 Use a data-driven approach for architectural choices
