Well-architected review
by gotobiz
Visibility, efficiency and security for your cloud operation
GotoBiz's Well-Architected solution applies a robust AWS framework to review, optimize, and transform technology architectures — from legacy environments to next-generation digital platforms. The focus is on aligning people, processes, and technologies to reduce hidden risks, eliminate waste, increase resilience, and accelerate innovation.
More than a review of cloud systems, Well-Architected is a strategic approach that promotes consistency, unified governance and continuous evolution across heterogeneous environments, helping companies transform IT into a true growth engine.
PILLARS OF THE WELL-ARCHITECTED REVIEW BY GOTOBIZ
Adopting cloud best practices requires more than infrastructure: it requires a well-planned, secure architecture aligned with business objectives. That is why AWS created the Well-Architected Framework, made up of six pillars that guide the design of resilient, efficient and sustainable environments.
At GotoBiz, we apply this framework to diagnose, optimize and support cloud environments based on evidence, prioritizing what truly generates value for your operations.
| Pillar | Objectives | Application example |
|---|---|---|
| Operational excellence | Automate and monitor systems for consistency and efficiency | Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, continuous monitoring |
| Security | Protect data and mitigate critical risks | IAM, MFA, threat detection, regulatory compliance |
| Reliability | Ensure availability and recover from failures | Multi-AZ, disaster recovery, fault tolerance |
| Performance efficiency | Use resources in an optimized and adaptable way | Auto-scaling, caching, and the right instance selection |
| Cost optimization | Eliminate waste and maximize ROI | Rightsizing, reserved/spot instances, cost governance |
| Sustainability | Minimize technology’s environmental impact | Automatic shutdown of idle resources, regions powered by green energy |
WHY IS WELL-ARCHITECTED SO IMPORTANT?
- Invisible complexity: 42% of IT resources are spent solely on maintaining technological diversity
- Critical risks: exposed credentials and excessive permissions result in millions in data breach costs.
- Uneven speed: modern teams held back by legacy systems delay innovation.
- Hidden costs: up to 32% of the cloud budget is wasted on overprovisioning and idle resources.
- Constant evolution: new regulations and more than 2,500 annual feature releases require periodic reviews to remain competitive.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLES OF WELL-ARCHITECTED REVIEW BY GOTOBIZ
| Industry | Applications |
|---|---|
| Industries | Standardized governance across legacy systems and modern digital platforms |
| Financial Services | Strengthening resilience and compliance to meet LGPD, PCI-DSS and audit requirements |
| Healthcare | Increased availability in critical environments, enabling continuity even when failures occur |
| Retail & E-commerce | 35% cost reduction through right-sizing and automated shutdown of idle resources |
