As organisations move from a small number of AI assistants to a distributed ecosystem of agents that can discover tools, make decisions, and act, operational excellence must evolve.

Teams break up monoliths to move faster, then find the pieces still fail together. Some coupling is doing real structural work: invariants spanning writes, ordering guarantees, timing assumptions baked into callers.

2025 marks the 10-year anniversary of the AWS Well-Architected Framework, Cloud Adoption Framework, and AWS Cloud Operating Model. Learn how these foundational frameworks evolved through customer feedback and real-world learnings from thousands of organizations.

Creating a cloud operating model in the context of sustainability can be hard. In this lightning talk, explore the benefits to sustainable outcomes of driving a culture of operational excellence, bringing together two of the foundational pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

In this workshop, follow Amazon best practices to help organizations build a consistent approach to workload monitoring and observability. The goal is to create a strategy that aligns business and operational metrics.

From purpose-built hardware, to innovative server designs, to investments in custom silicon, energy efficiency is a key goal of AWS compute infrastructure. These investments and a broad portfolio of services allow organizations to build sustainable compute environments on AWS, reducing the environmental impact of their operations.
