Cloud Well Architected Assessment

Our Cloud Well-Architected Assessment will evaluate AWS cloud workloads to identify gaps, inconsistencies, well architecture pillars tradeoffs, and optimization opportunities. Orion’s accelerator and workflow process assess cloud application workloads & environments quickly to identify improvement opportunities. The assessment methodology is driven by accessing the cloud well architecture pillars - cloud security, Cost optimization, Reliability, Operational excellence, and Performance efficiency.

Cloud Operation Center provides actionable Insights for quick remediation to fix and strengthen posture for cloud workloads, reusable assessment, and flexible frameworks for new workloads.

Leverage collaboration workflow for comprehensive alignment, accountability, evidence tracking and version features for coordination across multiple teams and to address violations and implement best practices.

Below are the assessment pillars and recommendation benchmarks

Security: Workload for Security is designed to be resilient to attacks and security assurances of confidentiality, Integrity & Availability. These workloads are assessed for enterprise security readiness, security tests to detect, respond, and recover practices, strong access controls, and data safeguard practices like data encryption at rest, transit, and while processing and audit trails. will provide recommendations and evaluation on security practices to protect the confidentiality, protect integrity, availability and posture evolution. Showcase Security vs WAF pillars tradeoffs

Reliability: Workload for Reliability is designed to function continuously and consistently without interruptions. These workloads are assessed for design principles and best practices to meet business requirements, resiliency, recovery, operations, and keeping the architecture simple. will provide recommendations to include the right KPIs, measure and detect changes, and potential service failures in application critical paths, and design for self-healing and redundancy layers. Showcase reliability vs WAF pillars tradeoffs.

Cost optimization: Workload for Cost-optimization is designed to achieve long-term financial responsibility. The workloads are assessed for budget awareness, expenses, reporting, monitoring, cost tracking, and accountability. Evaluation of continuous right-sizing, scaling, right-fit, fine tunings, evaluation of underutilized resources scheduling of shutdown of resources, etc. Will provide recommendations for cost-optimization, cloud wastage and right-sizing of resources, scheduling, etc. Showcase Cost optimization vs WAF pillars tradeoffs.

Operational excellence: Workload for operational excellence is designed for full visibility of application running and the best operational experience. The workloads are assessed on agile development, release best practices., standards development practices, and process and team cohesion. use of IaC, monitoring, alerting practices, and operational procedures. Will provide recommendations for Embracing DevSecOps culture, development standards, operation and observability improvements, Automation, and safe deployment practices. Showcase Operational excellence vs WAF pillars tradeoffs

Performance Efficiency: Workload for Performance efficiency is designed for healthy system efficiency, and performance as it scales. The workload is assessed and measured on various metrics like response time, throughput, availability, scalability, resource utilization, and load balancing. Will provide recommendations for performance optimization and building and performance-driven culture. Show case performance efficiency vs WAF pillars tradeoffs.
