Faster data migration to the cloud with AWS Well-Architected Review

N-iX has utilized the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) — a reliable and comprehensive framework that helps businesses facilitate their transition to the cloud. The Program consists of three main phases, namely, Assess, Mobilize, and Migrate and Modernize. We have conducted a comprehensive AWS Well-Architected Review, which was a crucial stage of the Mobilize phase of the migration process during the extension of the client’s infrastructure to AWS. The primary focus was to ensure security, resiliency, operational excellence, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.

Specifically, we have reviewed three critical workloads: identity management, network firewall, and application. We covered 42 inquiries related to infrastructure and detected 16 high-risk issues that need to be fixed. We also covered 47 inquiries regarding security and performance and detected 17 high-risk issues in those areas. With the help of the AWS Well-Architected Tool, we have created a thorough report that included priorities, recommendations, and actions required to resolve the identified issues.

N-iX has conducted a thorough AWS Well-Architected Review of the client’s infrastructure prior to their migration to the cloud. We have provided a comprehensive report on our findings, which:

• Helped identify and mitigate high-risk issues to ensure a smooth transition to the cloud that allowed the client to achieve better efficiency, security, and resilience;
• Helped save a considerable amount of time and resources by allowing to address issues at an early stage instead of doing it during the migration process, when it would be more expensive and time-consuming.
