AWS Well-Architected Tool

The AWS Well-Architected Tool helps you review the state of your workloads and compares them to the latest AWS architectural best practices.

It is essentially an interactive questionnaire. You answer a series of questions about your architecture (e.g., "How do you securely manage AWS credentials?"). Based on your answers, the tool evaluates your workload against the 6 Pillars.

It then provides a detailed Improvement Plan with step-by-step guidance on how to fix high-risk issues (like unencrypted databases or lack of automated backups).
