Design Reliable AWS Cloud Using Well Architected Principles
The AWS Well Architected Framework is a proven methodology for cloud cost optimization by making operational excellence. Our team compares your infrastructure to the six AWS pillars, paying particular attention to the cost optimization pillar, in order to find lost savings potential, underutilized instances, and wasteful resource allocation.
These ideas are used in our AWS Well Architected Review (WAR) to use AWS pricing models like Reserved and Spot Instances for maximum return on investment, right size workloads, and integrate auto-scaling. Our experts go beyond basic cost-cutting, they align your cloud spend with business goals through FinOps and cloud financial management.
Benchmark Your Architecture With AWS Well-Architected Best Practices

Boost Cloud Performance with AWS Well-Architected Pillars
Each of this pillar follows AWS Well-Architected design principles to help businesses create scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud architectures.
Operational Excellence
Streamline your cloud operations by using AWS Well-Architected design principles such as automation and continuous monitoring. Our team implements CI/CD pipelines and incident response plans to maximize efficiency while minimizing manual errors.
Security
Strengthen your cloud security backbone by AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices like IAM policies and encryption. Our WAR review evaluates vulnerabilities like exposed data or excessive permissions to protect your workloads.
Reliability
Use auto-scaling, multi-AZ deployments, and backup strategies to build fault-tolerant systems that withstand failures. The reliability pillar makes your applications remain available through disruptions.
Performance Efficiency
Optimize resource utilization with right-sized instances, caching, and database tuning. Our experts help reduce latency while cutting unnecessary cloud spend by following AWS performance best practices.
Cost Optimization
The AWS cost optimization pillar eliminates waste through Reserved Instances, Spot Fleets, and FinOps strategies. Our professional reviews typically uncover 30-50% savings without compromising performance.
Sustainability
Use energy-efficient regions and workload scheduling and reduce your cloud carbon footprint. This Well-Architected pillar aligns with AWS’s Climate Pledge by maintaining operational efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
The AWS Well-Architected Review (WAR) is a methodical examination of your cloud architecture in relation to AWS’s six pillars It offers practical advice for aligning your cloud with AWS best practices in adherence to cost, efficiency, and security savings.
A well-designed review maximizes return on investment by exposing hidden risks in your cloud infrastructure. They are security flaws, wasteful spending, or dependability issues. Additionally, it improves adherence to security best practices by evaluating your AWS setup in relation to the six pillars.
AWS now uses 6 pillars by adding Sustainability into it,
The pillars are,
- Operational excellence to streamline workflows.
- Security for protecting data & access.
- Reliability to prevent and recover from failures.
- Performance efficiency for optimizing resource use.
- Cost optimization to eliminate waste.
- Sustainability helps in reducing environmental impact.
- A basic AWS Well-Architected Review typically takes 4-8 hours for focused assessments of 1-2 key workloads, on the contrary complex multi-cloud environments may require 2-3 days for a comprehensive evaluation.
- After the assessments, our team conducts a detailed analysis, prepares a report with findings and recommendations, and shares it with you usually within 6 to 7 business days
- At Perensoft, we offer flexible review options tailored to your needs such as express Reviews in just 4 hours with rapid health checks ideal for startups. Rather, a deep-dive assessment takes more than 10 days for enterprise-grade analysis of large-scale cloud infrastructures.
No, assessing non-production like dev or test in environments exposes,
- Cost leaks that are always-on dev instances.
- Security risks over-permissioned test accounts.
- Performance issues before they hit production.
Ofcourse, we don’t just audit rather we execute,
- Priority-based fixes to patch critical security gaps in 48 hours.
- Hands-on support for Reserved Instance planning, auto-scaling setups, etc.
- FinOps integration to sustain savings long-term.
We recommend annual reviews for stable environments and bi-annual assessments for rapidly scaling businesses. Additionally, it’s necessary to schedule a review after major infrastructure changes like migrations or new deployments. Our retainer clients benefit from proactive quarterly checkups to maintain continuous optimization.
