Austria's leading Atlassian Platinum Solution Partner and first AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner.
Framework & Review
The Well-Architected Framework was developed by AWS as a collection of best practices to equip customers with the tools they need to build secure, high-performing, resilient, and cost-effective infrastructure. It is based on five core pillars and offers proven approaches for designing scalable architectures.
The Well-Architected Review is an architecture assessment conducted as an open dialogue between a ByteSource Cloud Professional and your team, based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework. As a result, you’ll receive a report from ByteSource containing tailored improvement suggestions and a roadmap that helps you implement the framework’s best practices—aligned with your organization’s priorities.
AWS Well Architected Review Process
In an initial call, we’ll plan the review process with you, define responsibilities, and clarify the outcomes you can expect. During this conversation, you’ll briefly describe the workload you’d like to review. After that, you and the relevant stakeholders will prepare any additional information required. This ensures that all key participants are involved from the beginning, expectations are clear, and a fixed timeline is in place.
The review is a conversational style architectural review of your workload between a ByteSource professional and the customer, based upon the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Reviews can be done on customer site or remotely and usually take about one business day
After the Well-Architected Review is conducted, ByteSource provides you with a written report of potential risks and issues, categorized in the 5 pillars. Including a tailor-made improvement plan with a prioritized roadmap, giving you concrete guidance on what to do next. The report will be presented and delivered within 3-5 business days following the review.

The 5 Pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework
The Operational Excellence pillar focuses on running and monitoring systems to deliver business value and continuously improve processes and procedures. Key topics include automating changes, responding to events and incidents, and defining standards for managing day-to-day operations.
The Security pillar is about protecting data, systems, and assets. It emphasizes confidentiality and data integrity, identity and access management, system protection, and the implementation of controls to detect security events.
The Reliability pillar ensures a workload performs its intended function correctly and consistently, when expected. A reliable workload quickly recovers from failures and meets both business and customer expectations. Key topics include designing distributed systems, recovery planning, and managing change.
The Performance Efficiency pillar is about using IT and computing resources efficiently. This includes choosing the right resource types and sizes based on workload requirements, monitoring performance, and making informed decisions to maintain efficiency as your business scales.
The Cost Optimization pillar focuses on avoiding unnecessary costs. It includes tracking where money is spent, controlling spending, selecting the most appropriate resource types and quantities, analyzing costs over time, and aligning expenses with business needs—with an ongoing focus on eliminating waste.
