What a free AWS architecture review actually covers

What we look at in 45 minutes, what you leave with, and when it makes sense to go deeper — no sales deck required.

If you are comparing AWS partners, you have probably seen “free assessment” offered everywhere. Here is exactly what ours includes — and what it does not — so you know whether to book time.

Who it is for

Teams in New England and remote-first US orgs that:

  • Are already on AWS (or committed to moving in the next 6 months)
  • Have a concrete question: migration path, runaway spend, security baseline, or “can we do this with Bedrock?”
  • Want a written summary they can share internally — not a pitch marathon

What we review in the session

Typical areas (we tailor to your goal):

  1. Account structure — Organizations, prod vs. non-prod, IAM patterns
  2. Top workloads — How they are deployed, backed up, and monitored
  3. Cost drivers — The three largest line items and quick wins
  4. Security baseline — Public exposure, encryption, logging, MFA
  5. Next 90 days — Phased options with trade-offs spelled out

We do not need admin access for the first conversation. Read-only access or architecture diagrams are enough to be useful.

What you receive afterward

Within a few business days:

  • A short written summary (options, risks, suggested sequence)
  • Clear “do now / do later / do never” recommendations
  • Rough effort bands — not fake precision SOW numbers

No obligation to proceed. Many teams use the summary for internal planning or a later RFP.

When to go deeper

The free review is the right entry point. A paid engagement makes sense when you need hands-on discovery, compliance mapping, or a fixed-date migration. We will say so directly if that is the case.

If you have been putting off the conversation, book a free architecture review — bring one workload or one bill that keeps you up at night.
