Well-architected dashboard

Learn about the well-architected dashboard in NetApp Console

Contributors netapp-rlithman

NetApp Workload Factory helps you maintain and operate reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective configurations that align with the well-architected frameworks for the storage type you use. The well-architected dashboard in NetApp Console provides a unified view across accounts and regions, helps teams identify and prioritize risks, and supports custom rules for specific requirements. Automatic daily scans of your storage system configurations provide insights and recommendations to help you optimize your storage environments.

How it works

Workload Factory analyzes your configurations daily. The analysis provides well-architected status, insights, and recommendations to help you optimize your storage environments.

After the daily analysis completes, configurations appear as "optimized" or "not optimized" in the well-architected dashboard. You'll find configuration issues by category of the well-architected framework (reliability, security, operational excellence, cost optimization, and performance efficiency) and a list of configuration issues and recommendations. Workload Factory can fix some issues automatically, while other issues require manual intervention. In this case, the recommendation provides detailed instructions to help you implement the changes.

You can dismiss the analysis of configurations that do not apply to your environments. Dismissing configurations avoids unnecessary alerts and inaccurate optimization results.

Why it matters

Workload Factory applies best practices to large storage, database, and VMware environments by combining ongoing assessment with recommendation insights and remediation. Automated remediation reduces human error, ensures uniform management, and preserves performance and reliability across your system infrastructures.
