You can edit the details of a workload that you own.

To edit a workload

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Well-Architected Tool console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Workloads.

  3. Select the workload that you want to edit and choose Edit.

  4. Make your changes to the workload.

    For a description of each of the fields, see Defining a workload in AWS WA Tool.

    Note

    When updating an existing workload, you can Activate Trusted Advisor, which automatically creates the IAM role for the workload owner. The owners of associated accounts for workloads with Trusted Advisor activated need to create a role in IAM. For details, see Activating Trusted Advisor for a workload in IAM.

  5. Choose Save to save your changes to the workload.

    If a required field is blank or if a specified value is not valid, you must correct the issue before your updates to the workload are saved.
