Operational Readiness Reviews (ORRs)
AWS finds it useful to perform operational readiness reviews that evaluate the
completeness of the testing, ability to monitor, and importantly, the ability to audit the
application's performance to its SLAs and provide data in the event of an interruption or
other operational anomaly. A formal ORR is conducted prior to initial production
deployment. AWS will repeat ORRs periodically (once per year, or before critical
performance periods) to ensure that there has not been “drift” from operational
expectations. For more information on operational readiness, see the Operational Excellence
pillar
