Well-architected cloud environments are designed to balance security, reliability, performance, cost, and operational effectiveness from the start. Applying proven architectural principles helps organizations reduce risk, avoid technical debt, and make better decisions as AWS environments grow and change.
The articles below cover practical guidance around the AWS Well-Architected Framework, architecture reviews, cloud governance, resilience, performance, security, cost optimization, and common design decisions that affect long-term cloud operations.
Stratus10 helps organizations assess AWS environments against well-architected best practices, identify areas for improvement, and prioritize practical changes that strengthen cloud architecture over time.
For ecommerce companies, pressure to improve digital experiences, absorb unpredictable demand, and launch new capabilities faster is exposing the limits of legacy infrastructure that wasn't built for the way the businesses now operate and sell.
Many Amazon Bedrock implementations start with what looks like a straightforward goal: connect structured and unstructured data sources, make them accessible to a foundation model, and enable natural language interaction. What becomes clear very quickly is that the quality, reliability, and cost of the solution depend heavily on decisions made at the data layer (not in the model or prompt design).
In today’s cloud-first world, designing infrastructure that is both secure and cost-efficient is a top priority for any organization building on AWS. Whether you're launching a startup, modernizing legacy systems, or scaling enterprise workloads, getting the architecture right from the start is critical.
An important pillar of the AWS well-architected framework, cost optimization is one of the most popular, and pertinent objectives in cloud computing today. This article covers the principles of cost optimization and technical must-do’s to achieve a cost optimized infrastructure.
Cost optimization means delivering business outcomes at the lowest price point possible.
Cloud security is increasingly essential in today’s fast-paced IT environment. As more companies migrate some or all of their IT infrastructure to the cloud, securing cloud-based IT assets remains critical to preventing data breaches and maintaining the trust of customers.
In this blog, we will discuss some of the pain points of implementing cloud security and how you can improve your cloud security posture by outsourcing security to certified AWS experts.
While an infrastructure can, in theory, have any number of tiers, by far the most common pattern is the 3-tier architecture.
This article describes:
The three-tier architecture pattern has been an established best practice for decades. By separating infrastructure into layers, each is inherently more secure and flexible. In the cloud, the same design principles apply. This article focuses on the core principles of the three-tier web application architecture pattern on AWS, including availability zones, load balancers, route tables, gateways, autoscaling groups, and databases.
