Custom lenses

You can create custom lenses with your own pillars, questions, best practices, and improvement plan. You apply custom lenses to a workload in the same way that you apply AWS provided lenses. You can also share custom lenses that you create with other AWS accounts, and custom lenses owned by others can be shared with you.

You can tailor the questions in a custom lens to be specific to a particular technology, help you meet the governance needs within your organization, or extend the guidance provided by the Well-Architected Framework and the AWS lenses. Like the existing lenses, you can track progress over time by creating milestones, and provide periodic status by generating reports.
