Frequently asked questions
The timing depends on the workload scope, stakeholder availability and the information needed for a useful review. KineticSkunk will confirm the review plan and expected timing during scoping.
Choose one meaningful AWS workload that is already in production or approaching production. KineticSkunk will confirm that the proposed workload is suitable before the review begins.
You will receive concise findings mapped to the six AWS Well-Architected pillars, prioritised next actions and a practical basis for deciding what to address first.
The next step is your decision. You can use the findings internally or ask KineticSkunk to scope remediation. Any remediation work is optional, separately proposed and charged.
Yes. The agreed AWS Well-Architected Review is free and non-committal. Remediation is not included; remediation is at a fee and requires a separate scope and approval.
Use the findings internally, fix a focused problem or address platform ownership.
The findings are yours to use. If you want KineticSkunk to help, remediation is optional and separately scoped. Where the review shows that the larger issue is ongoing AWS platform ownership, the relevant improvements can connect to AWS Managed Platform.
Understand the review before you request one.
The article walks through what a Well-Architected Review looks at, how the six pillars expose risk, waste and reliability gaps, and how findings are prioritised. Useful background if you want to understand the approach before requesting a review.
