Conclusion

This lens provided architectural guidance for designing and building reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective analytics workloads in the cloud. We captured common architectures and overarching analytics design tenets. The whitepaper also discussed the AWS Well-Architected Framework pillars through the analytics lens, providing you with a set of questions to consider for new or existing analytics architectures. Applying the Framework to your architecture helps you build robust, stable, and efficient systems, leaving you time to focus on running analytics workloads and pushing the boundaries of the field to which you’re committed. The analytics landscape is continuing to evolve as the number of tools and processes grows and matures.

As this evolution occurs, we will continue to update this whitepaper to help you ensure that your analytics applications are well architected.
