# Official sources

Use this reference only when you need source grounding for AWS service behavior or the detailed source list.

## AWS documentation

Use these as starting points, not as proof of the user's live AWS state:
- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/framework/definitions.html
- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/framework/welcome.html
- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/framework/operational-excellence.html
- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/security-pillar/welcome.html
- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/reliability-pillar/welcome.html

## Grounding rule

Official documentation explains AWS service behavior. It does not prove the user's current account, Region, quota, resource configuration, IAM boundary, pricing, or operational state. Prefer live AWS MCP/CLI evidence or sanitized user-provided evidence for current-state claims.
