Overview
Identify the AWS services that support the different phases of Operational
Excellence, an AWS Well-Architected Framework pillar Manage access to AWS
resources using AWS accounts and organizations and AWS Identity and Access
Management (IAM) Maintain an inventory of in-use AWS resources by using AWS
services, such as AWS Systems Manager, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Config Develop a
resource deployment strategy using metadata tags, Amazon Machine Images (AMIs),
and AWS Control Tower to deploy and maintain an AWS cloud environment Automate
resource deployment by using AWS services, such as AWS CloudFormation and AWS
Service Catalog Use AWS services to manage AWS resources through CloudOps
lifecycle processes, such as deployments and patches Configure a highly
available cloud environment that uses AWS services, such as Amazon Route 53 and
Elastic Load Balancing, to route traffic for optimal latency and performance
Configure AWS Auto Scaling and Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to scale out your cloud
environment based on demand Use Amazon CloudWatch and associated features, such
as alarms, dashboards, and widgets, to monitor your cloud environment Manage
permissions and track activity in your cloud environment by using AWS services,
such as AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config Deploy your resources to an Amazon Virtual
Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), establish necessary connectivity to your Amazon VPC,
and protect your resources from disruptions of service State the purpose,
benefits, and appropriate use cases for mountable storage in your AWS Cloud
environment Explain the operational characteristics of object storage in the AWS
Cloud, including Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon S3 Glacier
Build a comprehensive cost model to help gather, optimize, and predict your
cloud costs by using services such as AWS Cost Explorer and the AWS Cost & Usage
