Amazon Web Services – HPC Lens AWS Well-Architected Framework Page 42 effective. As your requirements change, be aggressive in decommissioning resources, entire services, and systems that you no longer require. The cloud allows you to perform a hardware refresh much more frequently than on premises, as there is little cost or effort involved in moving up to a newly released instance family. This can be as easy as editing cluster configuration settings and spinning up new compute instances. Hence, it is important to stay up-to-date on launch announcements and to be willing to refresh hardware more aggressively. Conclusion This lens provides architectural best practices for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems for High-Performance Computing workloads in the cloud. We have covered prototypical HPC architectures and overarching HPC design principles. We've also revisited the five Well-Architected pillars through the lens of HPC, providing you with a set of questions to help you review an existing or proposed HPC architecture. Applying the Framework to your architecture will help you build stable and efficient systems, leaving you to focus on running HPC applications and pushing the boundaries of the field to which you're committed.
