Why use Well-Architected Framework?

The Azure Well-Architected Framework covers five areas: reliability, security, cost optimization, operational excellence, and performance efficiency to help architects create and audit cloud workloads. The Well-Architected Framework provides targeted guidance on key workload components.

Today, we'll take a look at the Azure Well-Architected Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS for short) guide. Like all Well-Architected Framework service guides, the AKS guide provides checklists and recommendations in the same five areas, but focuses on workload architecture that includes AKS. If you're just starting out building an architecture that includes AKS or are already in production, using the checklist and advice in this guide can help you identify new opportunities to optimize your solution and make sure you're not going astray.

Scenario

Your application development team is about to complete the containerization of your organization's internal charitable donation campaign website, and you are responsible for building the Azure application platform that will host it. You have chosen an AKS cluster as the application platform for your workload and are familiar with Microsoft's AKS benchmark reference architecture. The team has prioritized cost optimization and security as primary workload decision drivers—this application is only used regularly and does not generate revenue, but needs to be run with a strict level of security and can only be accessed by employees.

AKS Baseline Reference Architecture:

As a solutions architect, you need to consider the role of the AKS cluster operator, providing a cost-effective and secure application platform that supports the site's business needs, and how the development team plans to use Kubernetes-native capabilities to serve, scale, and Host workloads in a secure way. You can use the Well-Architected AKS guide, which provides straightforward advice to AKS cluster operators and Kubernetes developers.

Combining the general guidelines of the Well-Architected Framework with the Well-Architected Framework AKS guidelines for safety and cost optimization, and considering key recommendations in the other three areas, ensures that the site's architecture aligns with the guidelines.

Using these self-service solutions has helped you build an architecture that can meet your cost goals and security requirements. Internal charity sites can be reduced to a minimum during inactive months. Add a to-do list to revisit the guide regularly to ensure your site schema incorporates new recommendations and to evaluate any schema changes made to the site since the last review.
