Well-Architected terminology - Container Build Lens

Well-Architected terminology

  • Component – Code, configuration, and compute resources that together deliver against a requirement. Components interact with other components and are often combined to create a workload.

  • Workload – A set of components that together deliver business value. Examples of container workloads could include a set of components housed in their own distinct containers that interact with each other to form multi-tier application.

For additional definitions, refer to the AWS Well-Architected Framework whitepaper.
