Maintain visibility over the use of cloud architecture patterns
Cloud platform and enterprise architecture teams use architecture patterns to provide guidance for different use cases. Cloud architecture patterns are typically aggregates of multiple HAQM Web Services (AWS) resources, such as Elastic Load Balancing with HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud, or HAQM Relational Database Service with HAQM ElastiCache. In a large organization, cloud platform teams often […]
A multi-dimensional approach helps you proactively prepare for failures, Part 3: Operations and process resiliency
