The Alibaba Cloud Well-Architected Framework provides a structured approach to evaluating trade-offs in cloud architecture decisions. Use it to identify risks, apply proven design principles, and build workloads that are secure, reliable, high-performance, and cost-effective.
The framework covers five pillars. Review the design principles for each pillar, then use the checklists and recommended practices to guide your architecture reviews. The framework applies whether you are designing a new workload or improving an existing one.
