Storm Reply has been a Premier Consulting Partner for several years and has achieved some of the most important AWS competencies: Migration, DevOps, IoT, Data & Analytics, MSP and ORACLE. Storm Reply has been focused on applying the AWS Best Practices day-by-day starting from the beginning. Moreover, the Well-Architected Framework (WAF) is a key driver for architecting, delivering, and optimizing customer workloads to keep the security, dependability, and performance as high as possible. Incidentally, the WAF methodology allows us to help customers to optimize operations and costs at the same time.
The Well-Architected methodology is based on the follow pillars:
Operational Excellence
Security
Performance Efficiency
The operational excellence pillar includes the ability to run and monitor systems to deliver business value and to continually improve supporting processes and procedures.
The security pillar includes the ability to protect information, systems, and assets while delivering business value through risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
The performance efficiency pillar includes the ability to use computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements and to maintain that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.
Design Principles
Cost optimization
Reliability
The cost optimization pillar includes the ability to avoid or eliminate unneeded cost or suboptimal resources.
The reliability pillar includes the ability of a system to recover from infrastructure or service disruptions, dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand, and mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues.
The AWS Well-Architected Framework is designed to help and guide cloud architects build the most secure, powerful, robust, and efficient AWS infrastructure.
The framework helps to best understand all decisions that need to be made when deploying systems in the AWS cloud and provides the ability to compare AWS architectures against best practices and identify areas for improvement.
This makes the operation of applications in the AWS cloud even more reliable, secure, efficient and cost-effective.
What’s more, AWS sweetens the pot with billing credits as an incentive. The customer goes through a Well-Architected Review, which is a commitment of a few hours. If the customer moves forward with any remediation identified in the Review within 30 days, AWS provides credits to the customer’s account.
Storm Reply is Amazon AWS Premier Consulting Partner, one of the best Amazon Partners in the world, and the only company to have so many different abilities attested by AWS: Mass Migration, Managed Service Provider, IoT, DevOps, Oracle, and BigData.
