The Azure Well-Architected Review, offered by Node4, is designed to assess and optimize cloud workloads for reliability, security, and cost-efficiency. This expert-led assessment helps organizations ensure their Azure applications are high-performing and aligned with Microsoft's best practices. A Node4 Cloud Consultant guides clients through a series of questions based on the Well-Architected Framework's pillars: reliability, security, cost optimization, operational excellence, and performance efficiency.
The review provides a report with tailored recommendations and supporting materials to improve workload design, prioritize implementation, and monitor progress. Key benefits include identifying opportunities to enhance application reliability and performance, cost optimization, and improved security and compliance. The engagement aligns cloud adoption with Microsoft's guidelines, offers access to certified Azure architects, and accelerates cloud transformation.
The process involves a workshop to understand the current state, remote report creation validating the environment against best practices, and a playback session delivered via Microsoft Teams. The engagement leverages Microsoft tools combined with Node4's expertise in cloud migration. Clients need to attend the workshop and playback session and manage relationships with any third parties involved.
