Question 1

What is a Well-Architected Review (WAFR)?

Accepted Answer

It's basically a health check for your cloud. I look at your setup through six lenses: operation, security, reliability, performance, cost, and sustainability. It's the best way to see if you're building things the right way.

Question 2

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope. For a straightforward review, expect 2 to 4 weeks. If you have a bigger environment or complex setup, it's usually closer to 4 to 6 weeks. I'll agree on the timeline with you before I start.

Question 3

What's in the price?

Accepted Answer

The fixed price covers the full report, the prioritized hit list, the stakeholder presentation, and the workshop. You get everything you need to actually improve your setup.

Question 4

Can we do this regularly?

Accepted Answer

Sure. Some clients like a check-up every quarter. Others just call me when they've made big changes. There's no subscription or retainer. You just reach out when you're ready.

Question 5

Do you use AI?

Accepted Answer

No. I use CLI commands to pull the data efficiently, but a human (me) does all the actual thinking and writing. AI isn't quite there yet when it comes to understanding context and nuances in security.

Question 6

What kind of access do you need?

Accepted Answer

Only read-only access. I'll provide a custom IAM policy so you can see exactly what I'm looking at. I don't need to change anything in your environment, just see how it's configured.

Question 7

What happens to my data afterward?

Accepted Answer

I delete it. Once you have your reports and the project is closed, I don't keep any copies. Your environment's secrets shouldn't live on my laptop.

Question 8

How do I start?

Accepted Answer

Just fill out the form. I'll get back to you with a quote and we can go from there. No obligation at all.
