The Azure Well-Architected Framework is a comprehensive set of best practices and guiding principles designed to help organizations build and maintain high-quality solutions on the Azure platform. It aims to address the complexities and challenges associated with deploying business-critical applications in Azure. Azure Well-Architected Framework provides a structured approach to optimize workloads across various dimensions. It is organized around five key pillars:
b) Gather Information Collect relevant information about the Azure cloud infrastructure. Understand the existing architecture, configurations, and policies. Review documentation, network diagrams, security controls, and cost data
c) Assessment of Security Identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities. Assess the effectiveness of existing security controls and measures. Review authentication, authorization, encryption, and data protection mechanisms. Evaluate compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. Identify any security gaps and areas for improvement.
d) Assessment of Network Review the network architecture and connectivity setup. Evaluate the network design for scalability, availability, and performance. Identify any bottlenecks, single points of failure and misconfigurations. Review network security controls, such as firewalls, network access control, and traffic monitoring. Assess network segmentation and isolation to ensure appropriate access controls e) Assessment of Governance Review the governance framework and policies. Assess identity and access management (IAM) controls. Evaluate resource and subscription management practices. Assess logging, monitoring, and auditing capabilities.
