AWS Well-Architected Reviews by It-Incloud

Let’s apply architectural best practices to give you a strategic advantage.

Is your infrastructure well-architected?

  • Are you getting the most from your Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment?
  • How does your architecture stack up to industry best practices?

Well-architected systems provide a strategic advantage and increase success. To help ensure your architecture stacks up, we apply a set of best practices for reviewing critical workloads running on AWS – the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

AWS Well-Architected Framework: pillars of success

AWS solutions architects have identified best practices for architecting systems in the cloud based on their many years of experience in designing and reviewing thousands of customers’ architectures on AWS, across virtually all business verticals and use cases.

The result is the AWS Well-Architected Framework, based on five pillars.

  • Security - protecting information and systems.

  • Reliability - meeting business and customer demand by preventing and quickly recovering from failures, based on foundational elements.

  • Performance efficiency - using IT and computing resources efficiently.

  • Cost optimization - avoiding unneeded costs.

  • Operational excellence - running and monitoring systems to deliver business value and continually improve processes and procedures.
