SCSUS02-BP01 Use the available AWS infrastructure to implement your distributed architecture

Consider optimizing where you run your workloads using the extensive AWS infrastructure and a distributed architecture to enable your trading partners to rely on services based on their predominant areas of operation.

Desired outcome: Enable seamless execution of supply chain operations by optimizing workload distribution across appropriate AWS Regions, matching partners needs and aligning with sustainability and operational goals.

Benefits of establishing this best practice: Optimizes the emissions while supporting global scalability, latency and performance. It serves also as a practice to align sustainability targets with trading partners' operations, facilitating also the dynamic, on-demand resource scaling to reach optimal cost and performance ratio.

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

Implementation guidance

Evaluate a distributed architecture to support your supply chain operations, using the extensive AWS infrastructure. Consider mapping the optimal AWS Regions, correlating from where your trading partners could benefit the execution from, while using the scaling capabilities of the AWS infrastructure to replicate services where needed and adopt an on-demand approach with related automations to scale, turn on and off services based on target areas of execution.

Implementation steps

  1. Map trading partner locations and their predominant areas of supply chain execution to identify optimal region placement.

  2. Evaluate distributed architecture options that use AWS infrastructure to support global supply chain operations.

  3. Implement AWS region-specific service deployments that align with partner operational areas and sustainability goals.

  4. Configure automated scaling and on-demand resource provisioning based on regional demand patterns.

  5. Establish monitoring and optimization processes to facilitate efficient resource utilization across distributed AWS Regions.

  6. Regularly review and adjust regional deployments based on changing partner needs and sustainability targets.
