## What it is
A collection of hands-on labs and accompanying code from AWS Labs for learning, measuring, and building with the AWS Well-Architected Framework's architectural best practices. It covers the six pillars including operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization.

## Use cases
- learn aws well-architected best practices through hands-on labs
- practice securing aws workloads with guided exercises
- improve reliability and resiliency of cloud architectures
- learn cost optimization techniques for aws
- prepare for aws well-architected framework reviews
- train a team on cloud architecture best practices

## When to choose
- you want guided, hands-on labs for AWS Well-Architected pillars
- you are preparing for or conducting a Well-Architected review
- you need practical exercises for security, reliability, or cost optimization on AWS

## When to avoid
- you need a production tool or library rather than educational material
- you work primarily with non-AWS cloud providers
- you want a fully automated architecture assessment tool

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools, security, monitoring
- domain: cloud-computing, tutorials, security, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: cloud, cross-platform
- tags: aws, well-architected-framework, hands-on-labs, cloud-architecture, cost-optimization, reliability, resilience, best-practices, devops
