CirrusHQ AWS Well Architected Review for Education

CirrusHQ have an established track record of assisting cutomers within Education to support IT teams, and key departments, to ensure the Well-Architected process is tailored to your needs to support all your key production workloads on AWS. Our Well-Architected reviews and remediation provides the insights your establishment requires to baseline your AWS infrastructure and safeguard your key applications through our tailormade approach, before we undertake any review our Solution Architect will discuss the workloads in scope and understand both the infrastucture as well as the business purpose to maximise the review time.

Using the AWS Well-Architected Framework as a model, we offer insight into your workloads as well as step-by-step guidance to a better, more cost-efficient cloud when you need it. Our AWS Certified Solutions Architects leverage their expertise to undertake a deep-dive review into the performance of your existing AWS workloads. We then recommend how these workloads can be re-architected so that they adhere to best practices and meet your business goals.

From this we develop an action plan with you, to carry out recommended remediations. Once a plan is agreed we will also assist you in applying for $5000 of AWS service credits from AWS* to offset against the costs of CirrusHQ carrying out the improvement or remediation work.
