Backend question · Cloud & AWS › Availability, scaling, IaC & cost

Which of these is NOT one of the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework?

Scalability

"Scalability" is not a pillar. The six pillars are:
• Operational Excellence

• Security

• Reliability

• Performance Efficiency

• Cost Optimization

• Sustainability


Scalability matters, but the framework covers it inside Reliability and Performance Efficiency. It is not a pillar of its own. "Sustainability" is a real pillar: AWS added it as the sixth pillar in 2021.
