AWS Well-Architected Framework Review

Need to ensure your AWS infrastructure is secure and optimized for success? Rego Consulting’s AWS Well-Architected Framework Review is designed to help you build and maintain a secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient AWS infrastructure.

Our AWS Certified Engineers will assess your workloads using the Well-Architected Framework Review. Developed by AWS, this review offers a comprehensive and consistent way to evaluate your workloads against AWS's best practices. You will receive a report of clear, actionable guidance for optimizing your workloads.

The review uses the 6 pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework to give an in-depth analysis of your workloads and quickly identify areas for improvement.

Best of all, our Well-Architected Framework Reviews take 90% less time and effort than competitors because we leverage automations with AWS native services and integrations to find misconfigurations, security gaps, and remediate items. We can conduct your review within just a few hours with only a couple of your team members.

The Six Pillars:

Security: focuses on protecting information and systems. Key topics include confidentiality and integrity of data, managing user permissions, and establishing controls to detect security events.

Operational Excellence: focuses on running and monitoring systems, and continually improving processes and procedures. Key topics include automating changes, responding to events, and defining standards to manage daily operations.

Reliability: focuses on workloads performing their intended functions and how to recover quickly from failure to meet demands. Key topics include distributed system design, recovery planning, and adapting to changing requirements.

Performance Efficiency: focuses on structured and streamlined allocation of IT and computing resources. Key topics include selecting resource types and sizes optimized for workload requirements, monitoring performance, and maintaining efficiency as business needs evolve.

Cost Optimization: focuses on avoiding unnecessary costs. Key topics include understanding spending over time and controlling fund allocation, selecting resources of the right type and quantity, and scaling to meet business needs without overspending.

Sustainability: focuses on minimizing the environmental impacts of running cloud workloads.
