AWS Well-Architected Review

The goal of the AWS Well-Architected Review is to provide customers with an analysis of a specific workload deployed within their AWS environment. The analysis is done by utilizing the Well-Architected Tool supplied by AWS with consultation and examination from a Certified Well-Architected Practitioner, provided by World Wide Technology (WWT). WWT is an Advanced AWS Consulting Partner and a certified AWS Well-Architected Review partner. AWS Well-Architected Review Partner members have in-depth training on the Well-Architected Framework. By working with an approved partner such as WWT, customers can often receive funding from AWS to offset the cost of remediation in a production workload. We can help implement best practices, measure the state of workloads and make improvements where assistance is required.

How Well-Architected is your workload?

  • When was the last time you checked in with your workload?  
  • Have you had the opportunity recently to step back and evaluate the overall state of your workload?  
  • Are you getting the most out of your AWS cloud platform for the workload?

The AWS Well-Architected Framework is designed to provide customers with high-level guidance and best practices aligned to the five pillars – operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency and cost optimization – of the Well-Architected Framework. Customers who align as closely as possible to the AWS Well-Architected Framework have a strategic advantage and a clear path for success as the cloud landscape evolves.

How does the Well-Architected Review set my workload up for success?

The AWS Well-Architected Review and Framework was created to assist customers:

  • Minimize system failures and operational failures.
  • Dive deep into business, operational, security, and infrastructure processes to identify where a workload is and the possibilities to bring the workload to industry best practices.
  • Engage with experts to assist customers with consultation on industry best practices as it relates to the cloud.

World Wide Technology's Well-Architected Certified Solutions Architects can work with your team to help align them to the five pillars of the Well-Architected Framework, which include:

1. Performance Efficiency
