Amazon Web Services Well-Architected Framework Meetup
|
|
On July 13, Brian Beach of Amazon Web Services led a Well-Architected Framework session specifically focused on the TRLN Discovery project. The purpose of the session was to use the five pillars of the "well-architected framework" (operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization) to review what has been accomplished thus far. The session was attended by TRLN libraries staff members who are involved in the development, operations, management, and systems administration of the TRLN Discovery project, as well as others currently or potentially working with AWS.
