What is a Well-Architected Review?

Well-Architected Framework is a collection of Best Practices across 6 pillars for designing and operating workloads in the AWS cloud:

• Operational Excellence

• Security

• Reliability

• Performance Efficiency

• Cost Optimization

• Sustainability

For each pillar, the Well-Architected Framework outlines specific Best Practices. Through this program, ACME is among a select few qualified AWS Partners that are allowed to lead AWS customers through the Well-Architected Review process.

How does it work?

ACME Well-Architected Review is a high-level check of a critical workload against the framework and is carried out by an ACME Cloud Solution Architect who will work through a set of structured questions to establish alignment with best-practice recommended by AWS:

1. Preparation

Ahead of the review, we like to arrange a 30-minute call if an ACME Cloud Solution Architect would want to discuss the workloads that are hosted, future plans, prerequisites, pain points, key expectations etc. required for the review itself.

2. Conducting a Well-Architected Review

The Well-Architected Review is a 2–4-hour activity that will be conducted on the Account/Workload (A con call meet would be requested with the customer, If required).

3. WAR Report & follow-up

Shortly after the meeting, you will receive a PDF report of the outcome of the Well-Architected Review. This PDF report will list all High Risk and Medium Risk issues that were identified through the Well-Architected Review.

4. Remediations

Work with the customer towards any remediation/ upgrade required
