AWS Architecture Review

Know exactly what's wrong with your cloud setup — before a security incident or outage tells you.

Most AWS architectures grow organically: one resource at a time, under deadline, without a clear plan. The result is a setup that works until it doesn't — with hidden security gaps, single points of failure, and costs that nobody can fully explain.

An independent architecture review gives you an outside perspective from a certified AWS Solutions Architect who has no interest in selling you more services — just an honest assessment of what's working, what's risky, and what to fix first.

What You Get

  • Full AWS Well-Architected Framework review across all 6 pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimisation, and Sustainability

  • Threat model of your current architecture — IAM over-permissions, public exposure, encryption gaps

  • Single points of failure analysis across compute, networking, and database layers

  • Cost structure analysis and quick-win recommendations

  • Prioritised findings report: Critical → High → Medium with effort/impact scoring

  • 60-minute debrief call to walk through findings and answer questions

  • Optional: 30-day follow-up check-in after you've addressed top findings

How It Works

  1. Intake questionnaire — You share your current architecture diagram (or I help create one), AWS account access scope, and top concerns

  2. Review (3–5 days) — I systematically assess your setup against AWS Well-Architected best practices, supplemented with direct inspection via read-only access

  3. Report delivery — Detailed written findings with severity ratings, root cause analysis, and recommended remediation steps

  4. Debrief call — Live walkthrough with your team to discuss findings, ask questions, and plan next steps

Frequently Asked Questions

Read-only access to the relevant AWS accounts via a scoped IAM role. No write permissions are required or requested.

Trusted Advisor flags individual resource-level issues automatically. An architecture review evaluates the holistic design — how systems interact, how failures propagate, and whether the overall approach is sound — which no automated tool can assess.

3–5 business days from access grant to report delivery, depending on account complexity.
