The Rackspace Advisory team is Well-Architected & Cloud certified.

We use MontyCloud Day2 automated tooling to scan your AWS infrastructure and perform analysis to recommend improvements based on AWS best practices. Our deliverable is a remediation roadmap that quantifies the level of effort, provides remediation steps by a named resource, and prioritizes actions by level of importance & cost.
