Well Architected Framework - Atomic Computing

Well-Architected

Framework Review

The Well-Architected Framework Review was developed by AWS to help cloud architects design and continually improve secure, high-performing, resilient, and cost-optimized infrastructure for their applications on AWS.

Accelerate and Optimize your Cloud Architecture with an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review

Increased velocity of digital innovation, lower capital expenditures, the same state of the art infrastructure as used by security-focused organizations like the Department of Defense and CapitalOne, and the ability to achieve a global scale in minutes.

It’s one thing to “lift-and-shift” your workload into the cloud, but it’s another story to deeply examine whether that workload is optimized for the cloud. But once you’re in the cloud, how do you know you’re getting the full benefit? That’s where an Innovative Well-Architected Review comes in.

The 6 Pillars of the Well-Architected Framework Review

Operational Excellence

Improving business outcomes and delivering value to customers and your bottom line are fundamental goals of your cloud strategy. We help you achieve these goals by looking at your processes against a set of design principles and best practices. We’ll help you identify gaps and recommend ways to measure, monitor, and continually improve operations.

Security System

All systems are constantly under attack by evolving threats. Your cloud security strategy must evolve to stay ahead by using AI-generated security insights, automated monitoring and remediation, logging, tracing, periodic risk assessments, and mitigation strategies. We’ll look at your enterprise holistically – people, process, and data in transit and at rest — to ensure your security strategy is built on a strong foundation.

Cost Optimization

To truly understand the effectiveness of your cloud strategy, you have to have a clear understanding of your business goals. In other words, it’s not simply how much are you paying, it’s how much business value are you getting. For example, do you want to optimize for speed to market or for cost? In some cases, it’s best to optimize for speed—going to market quickly, shipping new features, or simply meeting a deadline—rather than investing in upfront cost optimization.

Performance Efficiency

The cloud is not static; it is continually evolving with new capabilities enabling new strategies and implementations. Are you keeping up? By reviewing your choices on a cyclical basis, you will ensure you are taking advantage of the continually evolving AWS cloud. The optimal solution for a particular system will vary based on the kind of workload you have, often with multiple approaches combined. Well-architected systems use multiple solutions and enable different features to improve performance.

Reliability & Durability

Disruptions in service are costly. We will assess your ability to dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand, and mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues. When an event occurs, how fast can you get back online? We’ll check to see if your system can detect failures and heal them automatically. You must have sufficient network bandwidth to your data center. These requirements are sometimes neglected. This neglect can have a significant impact on the ability to deliver a reliable system.

Sustainability & Energy

The ability to continually improve sustainability impacts by reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency across all components of a workload by maximizing the benefits from the provisioned resources and minimizing the total resources required.

Mobilize your organization

Atomic Computing helps you throughout your modernization journey in the cloud. Be it an assessment workshop, workload migration to the cloud, modernization or extension of your existing environment or a new application you would like to develop in the cloud.

How does an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review work

The Well-Architected Framework Review will be free of charge, which covers all phases of the engagement ranging from initial review, conducting the workshops, creating a detailed report with findings of High Risk Issues (HRIs), and proposing remediation activities to comply with the AWS recommended best practices against the Well-Architected Framework.

As part of the project, we will also help you get access to AWS funds to assist with the remediation activities.

This funding is issued in the form of a $5,000 USD AWS credit code that can be applied towards your AWS account, pending completion of a customer satisfaction survey and a customer sign off for the project.

Initial Review

Identify the workload to document. Then answer a series of questions about your architecture against the six pillars established by the Well-Architected Framework Review. Supporting documents, your last 3 invoices and a solution architecture if available will help us prepare.
