What does the AWS Well-Architected Tool help customers do?

The AWS Well-Architected Tool is designed to help customers assess their cloud architecture against established best practices in five key pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization. By leveraging this tool, users can review their applications to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement, ensuring that their deployment aligns with AWS best practices. The insights gained from such reviews empower customers to make informed decisions regarding architecture enhancements, leading to more robust and efficient applications.

While the tool may contribute indirectly to other areas like performance and cost, its primary purpose is centered around the architectural assessment and guidance based on best practices.
