Exam AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner topic 1 question 811 discussion

A. Operational excellence "Perform operations as code: In the cloud, you can apply the same engineering discipline that you use for application code to your entire environment. You can define your entire workload (applications, infrastructure) as code and update it with code. You can implement your operations procedures as code and automate their run process by initiating them in response to events. By performing operations as code, you limit human error and achieve consistent responses to events." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/framework/oe-design-principles.html

The pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework that includes the design principle of defining workloads, applications, and infrastructure as code (IaC) is "Operational Excellence." Operational excellence is one of the five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. It focuses on the ability to run and monitor systems to deliver business value and to continually improve supporting processes and procedures. Defining workloads, applications, and infrastructure as code (IaC) is a key design principle of operational excellence that enables the company to provision and manage infrastructure, applications, and services using code and automation. This approach can help increase consistency, reduce errors, and enable faster and more reliable deployments.
