AWS Well-Architected Review Process

The AWS Well-Architected Framework Review is a process that assesses and optimizes your cloud infrastructure. It starts with signing a statement of work before the review. The cost is $5,000 USD, covering the entire engagement, including initial review, tool evaluation, findings/remediation, and AWS funding assistance. You’ll pay $2,500 USD upfront and get the remaining $2,500 USD credit after completing 45% of critical item remediation. Upon project closure and a customer satisfaction survey, you’ll receive a $5,000 USD AWS credit code. This review helps ensure your AWS environment follows best practices for efficiency, security, and cost-effectiveness.

During the Initial Review phase, the first step is to identify the specific workload you want to document and assess. This could be an application, system, or a collection of resources running on AWS. Once the workload is identified, you will proceed to answer a series of questions that evaluate your architecture against the six pillars established by the Well-Architected Framework Review.

Utilize the AWS Well-Architected tool to evaluate and assess your existing solutions, and receive guidance in architecting new innovative products and services. Our approach involves direct communication with the individuals involved in maintaining and developing your current environment, providing a comprehensive 360-degree view of your processes.

Following the assessment, we will present our findings and reports, highlighting which parts of your environment are well-architected, areas that require improvement, and any critical issues. Collaboratively, we will create a prioritized plan to remediate 45% of the critical findings identified during the Well-Architected Review.

The Well-Architected Framework is designed as a repeatable mechanism, supporting the evolution of your cloud practice at every stage of the process, from development to production and beyond.
