What is a FinOps Well Architected Review?
The Well-Architected Review is a systematic approach to evaluating Cloud Architecture. It is based on the Well-Architected Framework, which is a comprehensive set of FinOps best practices. The review can help you identify and fix potential issues with your environment. It compares your cloud-based architecture to the latest best practices for running workloads in the cloud. Customers who have undertaken a Well Architected Review typically save 24% or more from implementing these recommendations and significantly reduce their carbon emissions as a result which we can also report on.
