Which of the following is an architectural design principle of the AWS Well-Architected Framework?

Explanations:

Loosely coupling components is a design principle that enhances system flexibility and resilience, allowing for easier updates and scalability.

Building monolithic systems contradicts the principles of microservices and flexibility, which are emphasized in the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Scaling vertically (adding resources to a single instance) is less effective and more limiting than scaling horizontally (adding more instances), which is encouraged in cloud architectures.

While using third-party software can be beneficial, it is not a core architectural principle of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. The focus is more on using native AWS services effectively.
