68. Are you well architected?

If you've been using AWS for a while, you might have heard the term "well-architected". But what does it really mean? Don't worry if you're not quite sure, because we are here to help!

In this episode of AWS Bites, we will be diving into the world of well-architected and explaining what it means, both in general and in the specific context of AWS. We will be covering the well-architected framework, the different tools, and facets that come with it, and answering some practical questions like "should you care about building well-architected workloads?" and "how do you know if your workloads are well-architected?".

Whether you're a startup or a mature organization, learn why building well-architected systems is crucial for the long-term success of your business.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a solid understanding of the world of well-architected and why it's so important. Let's dive in!
