# DRHCPERF02-BP01 Design workloads with modularity and loose coupling
<a name="drhcperf02-bp01"></a>

 New capability deployment starts in the commercial regions and moves out to the edge based on feedback from customers. 

 **Desired outcome:** You can simplify management and reduce architectural complexity by adopting new services as they become available. 

 **Benefits of establishing this best practice:** You can easily implement the latest features and functionality into the workload. 

 **Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established:** Medium 

## Implementation guidance
<a name="implementation-guidance-44"></a>

 [Cloud architectures](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-outposts-high-availability-design/building-ha-applications-and-infrastructure-solutions-with-aws-outposts.html) differ from traditional on-premises in providing reliable compute, storage, and networking capabilities. An instance is an instantiation of an application component. Application components can operate independently thanks to loosely coupled instances, allowing for flexible scaling and seamless replacement without disrupting the overall system architecture. 

 This approach helps organizations seamlessly integrate new hybrid edge capabilities into their existing workloads. Periodically review data residency compliance requirements, as these can impact the overall design and implementation strategy. You can monitor the [What's New with AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/new/) webpage and [AWS Blogs](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs) to stay updated on the latest hybrid edge offerings from AWS. 

 By staying informed about these new capabilities and their potential integration into existing workloads, you can meet evolving business and regulatory requirements while realizing the benefits of hybrid edge computing.
