AWS Well-Architected Review

Analyze and optimize your AWS environment with a free Well-Architected Review

The Well-Architected Review is a great way to get feedback on your AWS architecture. This service is a cloud architecture assessment service that helps you review your workloads against the AWS Well-Architected Framework and mitigate issues. The Framework provides a consistent approach for evaluating architectures and includes best practices for building secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure on AWS.

Step 1: Review Workshop

We start with a workshop where we collaboratively look at the business in terms of the six pillars of Well-Architected operations.

Operational Excellence,  Security,  Cost Optimization,  Performance Efficiency,  Reliability,  SustainabilityOperational Excellence,  Security,  Cost Optimization,  Performance Efficiency,  Reliability,  Sustainability

The output of the review is a report listing all potential improvement areas and grouping them into High-Risk Issues and Medium-Risk issues.

The review helps identify areas where the architecture could be improved and provides recommendations on how to make those improvements. It is also an excellent opportunity to learn about best practices for AWS architecture and can help avoid potential problems down the road.

Step 2: Selecting the High-Risk Issues for remediation

The Well-Architected Review will begin by collaborating with the client in looking at the business in terms of the six pillars of Well-Architected operations.

The service includes resolving 45% of the identified High-Risk Issues (HRIs). We work together to select which HRIs will be resolved in the context of the review. In most cases, this will involve the ones that deliver the most benefit to the client.

Step 3: HRI remediation

We'll work together with you to remediate the agreed HRIs.In our extensive experience, we’ve created our own template library, as we’ve identified patterns across the many reviews we’ve done. Our Well-Architected team will identify any templates that might apply to your HRIs, or if a custom solution is needed.
