Embarking on a Well-Architected Review of your AWS workloads is a proactive step towards cloud maturity. It’s a structured yet collaborative process designed to identify high-risk issues and provide clear recommendations for improvement across all six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Understanding what to expect ensures you get the most value from this essential assessment.

Many businesses might view a review as a daunting audit. However, a Well-Architected Review is a guided discussion with certified experts, focusing on knowledge sharing and identifying opportunities to align your architecture with AWS best practices.

Typically, a Well-Architected Review with a certified AWS Partner like Cecure Intelligence Limited involves:

• Discovery & Scoping:
  • Initial Call: Understand your business goals, target workloads, and key concerns.
  • Workload Definition: Define the specific AWS workload(s) to be reviewed.
• Interactive Review Session(s):
  • Collaborative Discussion: Our certified architects will lead you through a series of questions across each of the six Well-Architected Pillars (Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimisation, Sustainability).
  • Evidence Gathering: We’ll examine your architecture, configurations, and existing documentation.
  • Risk Identification: High-risk issues (HRIs) and medium-risk issues (MRIs) are identified in real-time.
• Report & Recommendations:
  • Detailed Report: You receive a comprehensive report outlining identified risks, opportunities for improvement, and actionable recommendations.
  • Prioritised Action Plan: Recommendations are prioritised based on business impact and effort, giving you a clear roadmap.
  • Funding Opportunities: For qualifying high-risk remediations, AWS may offer service credits to offset implementation costs.
• Remediation & Optimisation (Optional Follow-up):
  • We can partner with you to implement the recommended changes, ensuring your architecture is optimised and future-proofed.

Organisations appreciate the clarity and actionable insights provided by a Well-Architected Review. It transforms vague concerns into a precise roadmap for cloud improvement and confidence.
