The Well-Architected Review is a consistent and thorough process of identifying gaps in an architecture when compared to the AWS Well-Architected Framework. During a Well-Architected Review, Anexinet’s AWS Certified Solution Architects guide you through the Well-Architected Framework to evaluate one of your workloads through a set of interactive discussions and data collection. The process looks at business and technical issues and should include stakeholders from both areas.During the discussion, you’ll receive immediate feedback on issues of major concern, such as unused resources or resources that not adequately protected. Following the review, you will receive a written report detailing our findings across each pillar along with a set of recommendations for remediation. Findings will be prioritized based on risk, cost savings, along with effort and cost to remediate
Build and deploy faster
Lower or mitigate risks
Make better informed decisions
Gain visibility to costs and performance trade-offs
The operational excellence pillar focuses on running and monitoring systems to deliver value, and continually improving processes and procedures. Key topics include managing and automating changes, responding to events, and defining standards to successfully manage operations.
The security pillar focuses on protecting information & systems. Key topics include confidentiality and integrity of data, identifying and managing who can do what with privilege management, protecting systems, and establishing controls to detect security events.
The reliability pillar focuses on the ability to prevent, and quickly recover from failures to meet business and customer demand. Key topics include foundational elements around setup, cross project requirements, recovery planning, and how we handle change.
