Our Well-Architected Review evaluates your AWS or Azure environment for gaps in reliability, security, cost, operations and performance, then gives you a prioritised plan to fix them. It's for organisations that need to understand the opportunities for improvement and the potential risks of their existing cloud infrastructure.
Cloud environments change quickly. Services get added, teams change, and settings drift away from the original design. A structured review shows where your architecture stands today against established best practices.
Our assessment takes the guesswork out, bringing you data, analysis, and expertise to guide the way.
The review is based on the Azure Well-Architected Framework and is applied the same way whether you run AWS, Azure or both. Our architects assess your workloads against Aptum’s five pillars:
We agree which workloads, accounts or subscriptions are in scope, and whether you're in one cloud or several. Aptum also needs to understand the business context and the relevant stakeholders for every pillar.
Our architects review your environment, using tools and processes that rigorously analyze specific criteria for every pillar.
We classify every finding by severity, so you can prioritize what needs attention first.
You get practical recommendations for each finding. Larger scopes add a phased plan and diagrams of your current and target architecture. This includes cost optimization and opportunities for quick wins as well as long-term transformational improvements.
We walk your technical team through the results. Larger engagements add a separate executive presentation that puts the findings in business terms: risk, cost, and compliance.
Depending on scope, you'll get a pillar-by-pillar report, severity-rated findings, remediation recommendations, cost optimisation findings and architecture diagrams. Larger engagements add projected cost savings and an executive presentation.
Cost problems usually start with architecture decisions made elsewhere. A full review finds the root cause faster than working backward from a cost analysis.
If an incident showed your setup wasn't as resilient as you thought, the Well-Architected Review helps you find the other weak points while you're still in planning mode.
Preparing for SOC 2 or HIPAA on your cloud environment? Check your security and governance first.
Make sure your architecture can handle the growth you're planning for, before the traffic arrives.
AWS and Azure both offer free self-assessment tools, and they're a good start. Our review adds experienced architects who examine your actual environment and give you recommendations you can act on.
Aptum is certified across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and the same team can carry out the fixes and manage the environment afterwards. If the review suggests some workloads would run better elsewhere, our Hybrid Cloud and Cloud Repatriation assessments can take that conversation further.
Tell us which clouds you run and roughly how many workloads, and we'll be in touch to scope the review with you.
