AWS Well-Architected Review

Cloud Wizard Consulting is an AWS Select Tier Consulting Partner and AWS Advanced Training Partner. Our team of fully AWS-certified professionals has trained more than 5,000 practitioners and maintains a 100% certification passing rate. We bring that depth of expertise to every Well-Architected Review, assessing your workloads across all six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework using hands-on tools including the AWS Well-Architected Tool, AWS Trusted Advisor, AWS Config, Amazon CloudWatch, and AWS Cost Explorer.

• Operational Excellence: Streamline processes and governance to ensure smooth, efficient operations with clear runbooks and automation strategies.
• Security: Strengthen cloud defenses with best practices that safeguard workloads, data, and identities against evolving threats.
• Reliability: Build resilient systems that recover quickly from failures and maintain business continuity under all conditions.
• Performance Efficiency: Optimize resource usage and system performance to deliver fast, responsive, and scalable applications.
• Cost Optimization: Eliminate waste and maximize value by aligning cloud spending with actual business needs.
• Sustainability: Adopt efficient architectures that minimize environmental impact while maintaining high performance.

Our structured engagement is typically completed within 2-4 weeks, depending on workload complexity and scope:

1. Discovery and Scoping (Week 1): We conduct a kickoff call to understand your workload, architecture, and business objectives. Your team provides architecture diagrams, access to AWS accounts, and identifies key stakeholders.
2. Architecture Review Sessions (Week 1-2): Deep-dive discussions aligned with each Well-Architected Framework pillar, leveraging the AWS Well-Architected Tool to document findings.
3. Analysis and Gap Identification (Week 2-3): We evaluate your current state against AWS best practices using automated tooling and expert analysis.
4. Recommendations and Roadmap (Week 3-4): We develop a prioritized action plan to address risks and optimize your environment, categorized by severity and effort.
5. Final Report and Readout (Week 4): A detailed findings report with architecture diagrams, risk ratings, and remediation steps, presented in a walkthrough session with your team.

When you grant our team read-only access to your AWS accounts, we follow strict data-handling protocols. Access is requested through temporary, scoped IAM roles that are revoked immediately upon engagement completion. Assessment findings and customer data are encrypted in transit and at rest. Our team members hold current AWS Security Specialty certifications and follow least-privilege principles throughout the engagement.

• Included: Assessment of up to 3 workloads per engagement, detailed findings report, prioritized remediation roadmap, and executive readout session.
• Not Included: Remediation implementation (available as a separate engagement), ongoing managed services, or third-party tool licensing.
• Prerequisites: Active AWS account(s), availability of technical stakeholders for review sessions, and read-only access to relevant AWS services for our assessment team.
• Buyer Responsibilities: Provide architecture documentation, designate a project lead, and ensure availability of DevOps, security, and application team members for review sessions.

As an AWS Select Tier Consulting Partner with a team that holds every AWS certification, we deliver more than generic observations. You receive a comprehensive report with clear severity ratings, effort estimates, and a phased implementation roadmap that your team can execute immediately. Our 12-hour email response commitment means your questions never go unanswered during or after the engagement.
