Well-Architected Framework Review

The Well-Architected Framework Review was developed by AWS to help cloud architects design and continually improve secure, high-performing, resilient, and cost-optimized infrastructure for their applications.

Accelerate and Optimize your Cloud Architecture with an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review

Increased velocity of digital innovation, lower capital expenditures, the same state of the art infrastructure as used by security-focused organizations like the Department of Defense and CapitalOne, and the ability to achieve a global scale in minutes.

It’s one thing to “lift-and-shift” your workload into the cloud, but it’s another story to deeply examine whether that workload is optimized for the cloud. But once you’re in the cloud, how do you know you’re getting the full benefit? That’s where an Innovative Well-Architected Review comes in.

The 6 Pillars of the Well-Architected Framework Review

PROCESS

How does an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review work

Before the Well-Architected Framework Review can start, a statement of work will need to be electronically signed three days prior to the initial review. If this is not completed, your review will be cancelled automatically, and you will need to reschedule.

The cost of your Well-Architected Framework Review will be $5,000 USD, which covers all phases of the engagement ranging from initial review, tool evaluation, findings/remediation, and AWS funding assistance. A payment of $2,500 USD will be collected at the start of the engagement and $2,500 USD will be collected upon completion and review of the remediations (45% of Critical Items). As part of the project close out, we will also help you get access to AWS funds to assist with the remaining remediations. This funding is issued in the form of a $5,000 USD AWS credit code that can be applied towards your AWS account, pending completion of a customer satisfaction survey for the project.
