// AWS WELL-ARCHITECTED FRAMEWORK REVIEW
Start with an honest baseline.
A structured, free-of-charge, expert-led evaluation of your workloads against AWS best practice, run by an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner.
// INTRODUCING THE WELL-ARCHITECTED FRAMEWORK REVIEW
See how your workloads measure up to AWS best practice.
The Well-Architected Framework is AWS's set of best practices for building and running cloud workloads. The review assesses one of your workloads against it and documents what we find.
We run it as a guided session with the people who build and operate the workload — architects, engineers and service owners together. We work through each pillar and record what is in place.
Through the review, you'll understand your highest-risk issues and take away a prioritised improvement plan, all entirely free-of-charge.
// WHY YOU SHOULD ACT NOW
The risk isn't in the technology
Services get added under delivery pressure. Recovery plans go untested. Cost accumulates where no one owns it. Security configurations drift and leave you exposed. Our review helps you understand the problems in your implementation so you're well armed to address them.
Of organisations have had at least one cloud security incident in the last 12 months.
Of organisations struggle to manage cloud expenditure.
Organisations that complete a Well-Architected Review often reduce cloud spend by up to 30%.
// THE SIX PILLARS WE ASSESS
Comprehensive assessment against all six pillars
We work through each pillar with your team and record what is in place, with the evidence behind it.
Operational excellence
How you run and observe workloads, and how you improve them.
Security
Guardrails, identity, encryption and access control.
Reliability
Elasticity, self-healing and how recovery is tested.
Performance efficiency
Service choices, scaling strategy and where the design limits performance.
Cost optimisation
Over-provisioning, retention, storage tiers and data transfer.
Sustainability
Efficient resource use, and the waste in current scaling patterns.
// WHAT YOU GET
Three outputs you can act on.
A documented assessment
Your workload measured against all six pillars, with the evidence recorded.
Your highest-risk issues
The findings that carry the most exposure, separated from the smaller items the review turns up.
A prioritised improvement plan
Sequenced remediation your teams can pick up, with the deeper cost, architecture and standards work identified where it applies.
// CLOUD CASE STUDIES
Cloud, done better.
Read about just two case studies where we have delivered transformative improvements to cloud effectiveness.
Remediating an existing cloud platform for a global media organisation.
A manual review against the Well-Architected Framework, backed by a toolchain across security, cost and guardrails, then the remediation that followed.
Transforming cloud cost efficiency for a central government department.
Cost visibility, volumetric models and the operating model changes needed to keep spend under control.
