CLF-C02 Practice Question 22: Workload Architecture Review

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) · Test 3 · question 2 of 10

Cloud Conceptsmedium

Before each major product launch, an engineering director wants every team to answer a consistent set of questions about its workload's design, get a list of high risk issues measured against AWS best practices, and record milestones so improvements can be compared over time. Which AWS service is built for this?

Select one answer
Show answer and explanation

Answer:

  • D. AWS Well-Architected Tool

The AWS Well-Architected Tool provides a consistent process for measuring a workload's architecture against the best practices of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Teams answer the review questions for a workload, the tool identifies high risk issues (HRIs) and medium risk issues, provides recommendations for improvement, and lets you save milestones that mark key changes as the architecture evolves. Customers use it for product launch governance.

Option A, Trusted Advisor, is the tempting choice (it even integrates with the Well-Architected Tool), but it runs automated checks against the resources in your account; it does not walk a team through design questions about a workload or track review milestones. Option B, AWS Config, records resource configurations and evaluates them against rules; it has no concept of a workload design review. Option C, Amazon Inspector, scans EC2 instances, container images, and Lambda functions for software vulnerabilities, not architectural decisions.
