Building a cloud application is like building a house. Without following industry best practices, everything could come tumbling down. Fortunately, Amazon established cloud architecture best practices, the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

This paper outlines their principles, "Five Pillars", best practices for cloud and further extends the Framework to networking — a critical part of cloud architecture.

This white paper will:

• Outline the AWS Well-Architected Framework: Principles,“Five Pillars,” and best practices.
• Inform how the Framework applies to networking — a critical part of cloud architecture.
• Highlight how Kentik can help effectively implement these best practices.
