You can create profiles to provide your business context, and identify goals you'd like to accomplish when performing a Well-Architected review. AWS Well-Architected Tool uses the information gathered from your profile to help you focus on a prioritized list of questions that are relevant to your business during the workload review. Attaching a profile to your workload also helps you see which risks are prioritized for you to address with your improvement plan.

You can create a profile from the Profiles page and associate it to a new workload, or you can add a profile to an existing workload.
