More Info

We’re excited to unveil the newly updated AWS Well-Architected Management and Governance Lens (M&G Lens) whitepaper!

Introduction

Organizations of all sizes and sectors are migrating to the cloud in pursuit of enhanced security, agility, cost-effectiveness, scalability, and simplified deployment. Many are seeking guidance to ensure their AWS environments align with these goals.

The M&G Lens offers comprehensive guidance to prepare your environment, regardless of your cloud adoption stage, focusing on eight key functions: controls and guardrails, network connectivity, identity management, security management, monitoring and observability, cloud financial management, service management, and sourcing and distribution.

What Do Customers Need?

As users navigate their cloud journeys, they often pose essential questions such as:

• How can I ready my AWS environment for migrating business workloads?
• How do I establish organizational governance controls or ensure compliance with regulatory requirements?
• How do I build, secure, observe, manage, and evaluate the operational effectiveness of my mission-critical environments?
• Which vendor partner solutions should I utilize to enhance the eight functions?

What Does the M&G Lens Provide?

Drawing from insights gained through thousands of successful migrations, the M&G Lens aids decision-makers and cloud, networking, and security architects in configuring AWS environments effectively. It helps evaluate whether the environment is set up correctly and ready for scaling. The M&G Lens includes:

• Clear implementation priorities outlining the necessary steps and their order.
• Insights into how the functions interconnect for efficient management and governance.
• Recommended AWS services for each function.
• Information about AWS Partner solutions available in the AWS Marketplace that support multi-account environments and integrate with AWS Control Tower.
• Implementation guidance through architectural diagrams, guides, and product videos.
• A list of AWS Consulting Partners in the Built on AWS Control Tower program that offer ready-made complementary solutions and services.

This updated M&G Lens offers prescriptive guidance to validate your AWS environments, whether new or existing, and provides recommendations for addressing any identified gaps.
