Well-Architected Framework Review (WAFR) by ITGix

What is a Well-Architected Review?

The Well-Architected Framework developed by AWS serves as a blueprint for building and optimizing cloud architectures. Our team of experts will conduct a comprehensive review of your cloud setup based on the six pillars of the Well-Architected Framework:

• Operational Excellence: How do you design your workload to enable operability? How do you manage operational events?
• Security: How are you leveraging AWS service-level security features?
• Reliability: How does your system adapt to changes in demand? How are you testing your resiliency?
• Performance Efficiency: How do you select the appropriate instance types for your system?
• Cost Optimization: Do you consider cost when selecting AWS services for your solution? Have you sized your resources to meet your cost targets?
• Sustainability: How can you maximize utilization and minimize the environmental impact of running your cloud workloads?
