What it is

The Well-Architected Framework structures cloud design into pillars (e.g. reliability, security, cost, performance, sustainability). It is not a to-do list: it is a way to ask and prioritize before investing in change.

Why it matters for TCM

When we prioritize findings or a remediation plan, we align the narrative with these pillars so business and engineering share the same risk and value map.

In practice

  • Review each pillar with specific questions (not generic checklists).
  • Cross findings with impact and effort to sequence work.
  • Document decisions and trade-offs so progress stays auditable.
