AWS Well-Architected Review: Data-Intensive Workload Specialization

OPTIMIZE YOUR DATA INFRASTRUCTURE WITHOUT COMPROMISING SECURITY

tsworks delivers a specialized AWS Well-Architected Framework Review (WAFR) designed for businesses running data-intensive workloads.

Standard reviews often treat a high-performance database the same as a web server. We don't. We combine a Broad Automated Scan of your cloud foundation with a Deep Audit of the "Data Estate" — the complex, expensive pipelines that drive your business.

SCOPE OF REVIEW: THE 2-LAYER APPROACH

We evaluate your workload against AWS best practices across two distinct layers:

Layer 1: The Data Specialization (Performance & Cost) We optimize the specific high-performance services that drive your budget and latency. This covers what automated tools miss:

• Relational Database (RDS / Aurora): IOPS adequacy, storage auto-scaling, slow query logs, and failover tuning.
• NoSQL & Caching (DynamoDB / ElastiCache): Throttling detection, adaptive capacity behavior, and cache eviction rates.
• Analytics & Search (Redshift / OpenSearch): Cluster sizing, concurrency scaling, shard distribution, and indexing load.
• Data Streaming (Kinesis / MSK): Retention costs, shard utilization, and consumer lag.
• Storage Efficiency (S3 / EBS): Intelligent Tiering compliance and provisioning accuracy (IO-Optimized vs. gp3).

Layer 2: The Foundation (Security, DevOps & Infra) We perform a comprehensive automated scan of your general cloud environment to ensure basic hygiene and governance:

• Resource Inventory & Visibility: Full multi-region discovery of EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, and IAM assets to identify blind spots and unattached resources.
• Security & Identity Posture: Surface-level checks for critical gaps: Open Security Groups, S3 public access, MFA status, and IAM inline policy detection.
• Cost & Waste Detection: Automated identification of "Low Hanging Fruit" such as idle EC2 instances, old EBS volumes, and unused Load Balancers.
• Reliability & Config Hygiene: Checks for Single-AZ deployments, missing backup configurations, unencrypted resources, and tagging inconsistencies.

DELIVERABLES:

1. Preliminary Risk Assessment: Identification of critical security and reliability gaps in your cloud environment (<24 hours).
2. Data Health Scorecard: A detailed evaluation of your 6 pillars of Well-Architected design, focusing on data KPIs.
3. Remediation & Modernization Roadmap: A prioritized plan to fix High-Risk Issues (HRIs).
4. Cost Recovery Inventory: A precise "Before & After" breakdown of potential savings.

WHY CHOOSE TSWORKS?

• Speed to Insight: Using our automated platform, we perform a non-intrusive "Quick Scan" to generate a preliminary risk assessment in as little as 1 hour.

• Flexible Privacy Controls: We leverage GenAI to accelerate insights, BUT we prioritize your security. You choose the mode: AI-Assisted for speed, or Strictly Manual where no metadata leaves your environment.

• Proven ROI: We don't just find risks; we identify tangible cost leaks in both your general infrastructure and your complex data layers.
