AWS Well-Architected Review
What is a Well-Architected Review?
A Well-Architected Review is based on an AWS whitepaper that describes the ideal way to run workloads on AWS. 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 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 the review is done, we produce a report and provide a way to remediate those items. This helps you build a roadmap and action plan so you can operate using these best practices. In other words, you can operate Well-Architected.
