AWS Architecture Assessment

AWS Well-Architected Review with a practical remediation roadmap

Find security risks, reliability gaps, cloud waste, and operational weaknesses before they become expensive incidents. Receive prioritized findings your engineering team can actually execute.

Operational Excellence

Review deployment, observability, change management, runbooks, and operational ownership.

Security

Assess identity, detection, infrastructure protection, data protection, and incident readiness.

Reliability

Evaluate failure recovery, scaling, backups, dependencies, and resilience expectations.

Performance Efficiency

Check architecture choices, resource selection, scaling patterns, and performance visibility.

Cost Optimization

Identify waste, right-sizing opportunities, commitment strategy, and cost accountability gaps.

Sustainability

Review resource efficiency, utilization, data patterns, and opportunities to reduce unnecessary consumption.

AWS Well-Architected review FAQ

What is an AWS Well-Architected review?

It is a structured assessment of an AWS workload against the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability.

Will you need write access to our AWS account?

The discovery phase can be performed with scoped, read-only access. Any remediation work is separately agreed and uses the minimum permissions needed for the approved changes.

Do we receive an actionable report?

Yes. Findings are prioritized by risk, impact, and effort, with practical remediation guidance and a phased roadmap rather than an unranked checklist.

Can ARCO implement the recommendations?

Yes. ARCO can support remediation across IAM, logging, networking, backups, cost controls, monitoring, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and reliability improvements.
