Optimize your AWS infrastructure with a complimentary Well-Architected Framework Review (WAFR) conducted by Stratus10’s AWS Certified Solutions Architects. By evaluating your environment according to the AWS Well-Architected Framework, you ensure your infrastructure is secure, resilient, efficient, and perfectly aligned with your business objectives.

Based on six pillars—Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability—the Well-Architected Framework ensures that your infrastructure meets established AWS best practices and helps identify areas for improvement.

Benefits of a Well-Architected Review

• Expert advice: Get solutions to pressing issues and a prioritized roadmap of remediation goals to provide immediate, quantifiable improvements.
• Prevent and protect: Address areas of security and compliance risk before they cause problems.
• Stay current: Learn about some of the latest AWS services, and which ones you could leverage to address your issues immediately.
• Gain a strategic advantage: Facilitate a discussion with your key business and IT stakeholders on how modern infrastructure can give you an advantage—like better customer experience, faster idea-to-cash, scalability, and more.

What are some of the topics covered in a review?

The AWS Well-Architected Framework was created to assist cloud architects in constructing the most secure, high-performing, resilient, infrastructure for their applications.

The following are examples of foundational questions that guide the evaluation.

• Are operational procedures clearly defined and known by all members of the team? (Operational Excellence pillar)
• How do you manage credentials and authentication? (Security pillar)
• How do you backup data and implement disaster recovery strategies? (Reliability pillar)
• How do you select the best performing architecture? (Performance Efficiency pillar)
• How do you monitor usage and cost? (Cost Optimization pillar)
• How do you optimize the energy efficiency of your workloads? (Sustainability pillar)
