AWS Cost and Architecture Review
Organizations already using AWS that want a clearer view of spending, technical waste or architecture trade-offs.
What it can address
- AWS spending and usage patterns
- Right-sizing and potential technical waste
- Architecture and commitment options
- Practical FinOps ownership
- Useful information
- An approximate spend range, the workloads or teams in scope, the outcome you want and any timing constraints. Exact billing data is not needed for the first conversation.
- Initial conversation
- A 20-minute discussion to understand the environment at a high level, clarify priorities and decide whether a scoped review is useful.
- Likely next step
- If there is a fit, agree a review scope and what information or access would be appropriate. No implementation begins without agreement.
- Not included
- The initial conversation is not a full audit, implementation, AWS funding decision, commercial offer or savings guarantee.
This is preliminary guidance, not a binding commercial offer, AWS funding decision, savings guarantee or confirmed engagement. AWS credentials and account access are not needed for the initial conversation.
Migration Readiness Review
Organizations planning a move from on-premises infrastructure, VMware, another cloud provider or a legacy environment.
What it can address
- Workload and dependency readiness
- Migration constraints and sequencing
- AWS foundation and operating model
- Modernization options and trade-offs
- Useful information
- The environment type, approximate workload scope, important dependencies, desired timing and any constraints. Do not send credentials or sensitive infrastructure details.
- Initial conversation
- A 20-minute discussion about the reason for moving, the current environment at a high level and the decisions that would shape a responsible migration plan.
- Likely next step
- If useful, agree a bounded readiness scope and the discovery information needed before recommending migration waves or an architecture.
- Not included
- The first conversation is not a migration plan, cloud assessment, implementation commitment, funding decision or price quotation.
This is preliminary guidance, not a binding commercial offer, AWS funding decision, savings guarantee or confirmed engagement. AWS credentials and account access are not needed for the initial conversation.
Managed AWS Operations Review
Organizations evaluating ongoing monitoring, incident processes, security, governance, recovery or platform ownership.
What it can address
- Monitoring and incident management
- Security and governance responsibilities
- Backup and recovery readiness
- Support hours and operational ownership
- Useful information
- The workloads in scope, current operating model, operational pain points, criticality and any service-hour or compliance constraints.
- Initial conversation
- A 20-minute discussion to understand present responsibilities and where additional operational support may help.
- Likely next step
- If appropriate, define the service boundary, responsibilities, coverage expectations and a scoped proposal for review.
- Not included
- No 24/7 coverage, response SLA, service level or operational transfer is implied by the initial discussion.
This is preliminary guidance, not a binding commercial offer, AWS funding decision, savings guarantee or confirmed engagement. AWS credentials and account access are not needed for the initial conversation.
AWS Modernization Discovery
Organizations considering application modernization, cloud-native architecture, platform engineering, landing zones or improved deployment models.
What it can address
- Application and platform constraints
- Cloud-native architecture choices
- Landing zones and platform engineering
- Deployment and operating-model improvements
- Useful information
- The business or delivery outcome, affected applications or platform area, current constraints and the teams involved. High-level context is enough to begin.
- Initial conversation
- A 20-minute discussion to clarify the desired change, technical constraints and whether a focused discovery should follow.
- Likely next step
- If there is a fit, agree a discovery scope, decision owners and the information needed to compare options.
- Not included
- The first conversation is not a technical design, application rewrite, delivery commitment, funding decision or guaranteed outcome.
This is preliminary guidance, not a binding commercial offer, AWS funding decision, savings guarantee or confirmed engagement. AWS credentials and account access are not needed for the initial conversation.
