What is a Well-Architected Review?
A well-architected-review is based on an AWS whitepaper from AWS that describes the ideal way of running workloads in AWS, all these findings are combined in the Well-Architected Framework. This framework consists of six pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability. It’s a way of thinking about your AWS environment from a holistic perspective, ensuring you use the best practices at all times.
IN4IT delivers these reviews to help organizations establish good architectural habits, reduce risks, and respond faster to changes that affect designs, applications, and workloads by assessing specific business-critical workloads. When this review is done we produce a report and then we provide a way to remediate those items. This way we can help you build a roadmap and action plan, so you can work towards operating using these best practices or in other words that you can operate: Well-Architected.
