During a Well-Architected Review, our certified architects assess your workloads against AWS's six pillars. We interview your technical team, review your architecture, identify high-risk issues, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap. The review typically takes 1–2 weeks and can qualify you for AWS remediation credits to fix the issues we identify.
As a certified AWS Well-Architected Partner, EFS can often provide the review at reduced cost or no cost through AWS partner programs. The review itself is an investment that typically identifies 20–40% in potential cost savings and critical security improvements. Contact us for a scoping conversation.
The six pillars are: Operational Excellence (automation, monitoring, incident response), Security (identity, detection, data protection), Reliability (fault tolerance, disaster recovery), Performance Efficiency (right-sizing, scaling), Cost Optimization (usage analysis, pricing models), and Sustainability (environmental impact reduction).
