AWS Well-Architected Framework Review
What is a AWS Well-Architected Framework Review?
The AWS Well-Architected Framework Review helps to assess the pros and cons of decisions made when building systems on AWS. Using the Framework helps increase understanding of architectural best practices for designing and operating secure, reliable, efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable workloads in the AWS Cloud. It provides a way to consistently measure architectures against best practices and identify areas for improvement.
This isn’t an audit – it’s a process for reviewing your AWS architecture, in a constructive conversation about architectural decisions.
Best practices continue to evolve, and new AWS features and capabilities are being continuously deployed – there are almost always enhancements, improvements and efficiencies that can be made! The Bexprt team will work with you, and guide you through the Framework, to optimize your AWS deployment.
