WAF++ is an open-source, vendor-neutral framework for assessing and improving the quality of cloud workloads across 7 pillars: Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimisation, Operational Excellence, Sustainability, and Developer Experience.
WAF++ (Well-Architected Framework Plus Plus) is an open-source, community-driven framework for assessing and improving cloud workload quality. It covers 7 pillars — Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimisation, Operational Excellence, Sustainability, and Developer Experience — with a transparent scoring model called PASS.
Unlike proprietary vendor frameworks, WAF++ is governed openly via RFCs in GitHub Discussions, making every decision traceable and every control citable. The framework is free to use, contribute to, and build upon.
Security · Reliability · Performance · Cost · Operations · Sustainability · Developer Experience
All decisions via public RFCs in GitHub Discussions — transparent and community-reviewed
First stable release with full pillar coverage, controls library, and PASS scoring model
