The Well-Architected Review
An AWS Well-Architected Review from CirrusHQ can help identify cost savings, improve application performance, and reduce security risks in your AWS environment.


KEEP YOUR CLOUD OPTIMISED AND SECURE WITH AN AWS WELL-ARCHITECTED REVIEW
We understand that staying up to date with the pace of AWS innovation can be a challenge and requires expert knowledge and a set of best practices to get the most out of your architecture.
Our AWS Certified Solutions Architects and Well-Architected Ambassadors leverage their expertise to undertake a deep-dive review into the performance of your existing AWS workloads. We then recommend how these workloads can be re-architected so that they adhere to best practices and meet your business goals.
From this we develop an action plan with you, to carry out recommended remediations. Once a plan is agreed we will also assist you in applying for $5000 of AWS service credits from AWS* to offset against the costs of CirrusHQ carrying out the improvement or remediation work.

How to keep your Cloud optimised and secure with an AWS Well-Architected Review
Read moreWHY DO I NEED AN AWS WELL-ARCHITECTED REVIEW?
Perhaps you haven’t carried out a health-check of your workloads since they were launched (AWS recommends you conduct a review every 12-18 months). Maybe you want to take advantage of one or more of the hundreds of services AWS introduce every year – services your in-house teams may not yet be able to deploy. Or, maybe you think your workloads are costing more than they should and are looking for better value for your spend. Whatever the reason, the Review can create a business case for re-architecting your workloads and can revolutionise how the AWS Cloud works for you.
If you’re interested in a Well-Architected Review, done by the first and only UK-based Consulting Partner to hold the Well-Architected Framework certification as well as the AWS Education Competency, then contact us now so we can arrange a time that best suits you to discuss this further.
