Driving Excellence with the AWS Well-Architected Framework
As an AWS Well-Architected Partner, we help organizations design, optimize, and scale cloud architectures that are secure, high-performing, resilient, and cost-efficient — fully aligned with AWS best practices.
Incedo helps organizations design, optimize, and scale secure, reliable, and cost-efficient AWS architectures using the Well-Architected Framework. Unlike partners who stop at assessment, we go end-to-end — uncovering risks, creating remediation roadmaps, executing fixes, and embedding governance. With AWS-certified expertise, automation, and proven accelerators, we deliver measurable outcomes: reduced risk, lower cost, faster innovation, and sustained compliance.

Our Approach
We Go Beyond Assessment
Our Well-Architected approach is hands-on and results-driven: the engagement is designed to uncover hidden risks, create actionable plans, and implement real improvements — not just document findings.


Workload Reviews
We conduct a structured review of your selected workloads, mapping them against AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices. This process covers architecture design, operational processes, security posture, cost efficiency, and sustainability considerations.


HRI Identification
Every review includes a thorough analysis to uncover High Risk Issues (HRIs) — gaps that could impact performance, security, or reliability. We don’t just point them out; we explain the potential business impact and why they matter.


Remediation Roadmap
We develop a prioritized, step-by-step remediation plan for every identified HRI. This includes technical recommendations, resource estimates, and a timeline to address each risk without disrupting ongoing operations.


Execution Support
Unlike many partners who stop at assessment, we stay engaged through implementation. Our AWS-certified engineers work with your teams to execute fixes, migrate workloads, and optimize configurations.


Continuous Optimization
We enable a long-term cloud governance model so your workloads don’t drift away from AWS best practices. This includes periodic reviews, monitoring frameworks, and knowledge transfer to your teams.
The Six Pillars We Cover
Every Well-Architected review we perform is structured around the six core AWS pillars. These pillars guide our evaluation and remediation approach, ensuring a balanced, future-proof architecture.
-
Operational Excellence
We streamline operational processes with automation, monitoring, and governance models that reduce manual effort and increase agility. This helps your teams release new features faster and respond quickly to incidents.
-
Security
We identify gaps in identity and access management, data protection, incident response, and threat detection. Our remediation ensures your workloads meet compliance standards while proactively defending against cyber threats.
-
Reliability
We strengthen your system’s ability to recover from failures, scale on demand, and handle changing workloads. This includes designing for redundancy, disaster recovery readiness, and failover mechanisms.
-
Performance Efficiency
We analyze resource utilization to ensure optimal performance at the lowest possible cost. This includes selecting the right services, instance types, and storage classes, and leveraging AWS-native optimization tools.
-
Cost Optimization
We uncover cost inefficiencies and implement strategies such as rightsizing, reserved instances, and workload scheduling to eliminate waste while preserving performance.
-
Sustainability
We help design architectures that minimize environmental impact, leveraging AWS’s sustainability tools and best practices to optimize energy consumption and resource usage.

Why Well-Architected Is Standard Practice at Incedo
We embed the AWS Well-Architected Framework into every AWS engagement because it transforms cloud projects from tactical lift-and-shift efforts into durable, business-focused platforms.
- Reduce business risk — Early HRI detection prevents outages, data loss, and compliance failures before they become costly incidents.
- Maximize ROI — Optimized architectures lower TCO and unlock performance gains that pay back quickly.
- Speed safe innovation — A sound foundation lets product and engineering teams iterate faster with controlled risk.
- Ensure compliance & trust — Well-architected workloads are easier to audit and defend from regulatory and security scrutiny.
- Create repeatable outcomes — Standardized best practices make future projects predictable and scalable across the enterprise.
- Standardized intake - Well-Architected checkpoints are included in proposals and onboarding so the approach starts from day one.
- Tooling & automation - We use automated checks, templates, and IaC scans to accelerate reviews and reduce subjectivity.
- Embedded remediation - Assess → Prioritize → Execute — remediation workstreams are scoped and delivered as part of the engagement rather than as optional extras.
- KPIs & dashboards - We measure HRI reduction, cost savings, performance improvements, and SLA gains to quantify impact.
- Governance handover - We build runbooks, automation, and governance processes so your teams can sustain improvements independently.
- HRI discovery and business impact assessment
- Prioritized remediation roadmap with effort and cost estimates
- Implementation of fixes (security, reliability, performance, cost)
- Monitoring, observability, and automated compliance checks
- Periodic re-reviews and continuous improvement cycles
- Knowledge transfer, playbooks, and governance frameworks
