AWS Well-Architected Program

    The Well-Architected Program allows us to work together with you to improve your deployed application on AWS, validating your needs and the current configuration. Its purpose: optimize your architecture in the cloud as well as the direct costs in AWS infrastructures and services and the indirect costs with possible automations that may positively affect your daily operations.

    Linke, officially certified with the AWS Well-Architected Partner Status, offers free custom architecture reviews with the guarantee of being able to provide proven specialized technical competence and success with clients to identify if workloads meet the five pillars of the Well-Architected Framework: operational excellence, safety, reliability in the event of failure, performance efficiency and cost optimization.

    How do we do it?
    1 - Book a meeting with us.

    Fill in the form and we will contact you immediately. If you prefer to directly schedule the session with one of our certified architects, use our service chat.

    2 - We identify together the workloads to be analyzed as well as the necessary people to be involved.

    15-20 minute meeting maximum. Here we will select a productive workload on AWS. On this load, a session of about 2-3 hours will be held with our team of Solution Architects and one or more people from your team who know the architecture and infrastructure on which the workload to be reviewed has been implemented.

    3 - We schedule the analysis session.
    4 - We execute the analysis session.

    The session is aimed at reviewing the 5 basic pillars of the platform: Operation, Security, Reliability, Performance and Cost Optimization, with a series of questions asked by our architects. The approximate duration of the session ranges from 2-4 hours. Once the session is done, our team performs an analysis based on the information obtained and prepares a report detailing the points of improvement and the weaknesses found.

    5 - Delivery of the report.

    Detailing the conclusions of the analysis and identifying mitigation tasks that we will carry out from Linke as part of the project.

    6 - Remediation Actions.

    From all the improvement points highlighted in the report, we will select 25% and apply the necessary measures to solve them. These measures can range from creating or adapting a procedure, to performing some kind of activation or configuration of an AWS service, or to some cost improvement.

    7 - Your Funding Reward.
    Once the Well-Architected review and mitigation actions have been executed, Linke as a Well-Architected authorized partner, will be able to process your AWS voucher -worth up to $5,000 in credits- to be applied on your account as a thank you for having participated in the program.
