Well-Architected Review (WAR)

To assist AWS, GCP and Azure customers in getting the best from their cloud environments, Mantalus is empowered by the cloud hyperscalers to to carry out, and act upon, Well-Architected Reviews. Work with our expert architects to start improving your cloud infrastructure today.

Build using a

Structured approach

The Well-Architected Framework, initially developed by AWS has been continuously improved to help cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications. Based on six pillars — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization and sustainability — the Framework provides a consistent approach for the evaluation and implementation of well designed architectures, that can scale over time.

The Well-Architected Framework includes strategies to help you compare your workload against best practices, and by engaging Mantalus experts – you can obtain guidance to produce stable and efficient systems so you can focus on functional requirements.

The Framework

Framework

This AWS published documentation here introduces you to the concept of the Well-Architected Framework, covering key concepts, design principles for architecting in the cloud, and the six pillars. The appendix includes the current questions for reviewing a workload using the Framework.

Security

The security pillar focuses on protecting information & systems. Key topics include confidentiality and integrity of data, identifying and managing who can do what with privilege management, protecting systems, and establishing controls to detect security events.

Reliability

The reliability pillar focuses on the ability to prevent, and quickly recover from failures to meet business and customer demand. Key topics include foundational elements around setup, cross project requirements, recovery planning, and how we handle change.

Operational Excellence

The operational excellence pillar focuses on running and monitoring systems to deliver business value, and continually improving processes and procedures. Key topics include managing and automating changes, responding to events, and defining standards to successfully manage daily operations.

Performance Efficiency

The performance efficiency pillar focuses on using IT and computing resources efficiently. Key topics include selecting the right resource types and sizes based on workload requirements, monitoring performance, and making informed decisions to maintain efficiency as business needs evolve.

Cost Optimization

Cost Optimization focuses on avoiding un-needed costs. Key topics include understanding and controlling where money is being spent, selecting the most appropriate and right number of resource types, analyzing spend over time, and scaling to meet business needs without overspending.

Our Customers

We work with leading Australian and International organisations to help facilitate highly effective and often unique outcomes in their Cloud journey. From multinational corporations to small businesses we’ve helped grow, we’re proud to have shared our customer obsession with them and grateful that many have become long-term customers.

Why Mantalus?

Mantalus’ capability is built on being the tip of the spear to solve difficult and unique problems with cloud technology. Our strength is based on having consultants with an array of industry experience, who have themselves faced a litany of complex, business critical, technology roadblocks; and found creative and class-leading ways to solve them.

We’re great at developing single or multi-cloud centric architectures, where none have existed before. Think platforms or middleware that have never been attempted in the cloud by anyone; or even completely cloud native solutions, removing the need for expensive 3rd party solutions.

So, where can we be useful and important to you? Anywhere there’s pain.

When you’re scratching your heads with a tricky use case that doesn’t fit neatly into a known solution or reference architecture…. think Mantalus. We’re the cure!

AWS, GCP and Azure have a fantastic array of services – and if you partner with Mantalus we can use them to help you solve just about anything.
