help AWS Well-Architected Tool FAQ
What does an AWS Well-Architected Tool review actually check?
The review evaluates a workload against six AWS pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability. After you answer the guided questions, the tool identifies high-risk issues and recommends improvements.
Is the AWS Well-Architected Tool the same service as AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery?
No. The Well-Architected Tool reviews an entire workload against AWS design practices, while AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery replicates servers so they can be recovered after an outage.
Does AWS charge for Well-Architected Tool reviews?
AWS makes the Well-Architected Tool available at no additional charge through the AWS Management Console. Implementing its recommendations can still create costs if you add services, increase redundancy, or engage an AWS Well-Architected Partner.
Can a team track architecture improvements after the first review?
Yes. Teams can save workloads, record milestones, assign improvement items, and repeat reviews as the architecture changes. Custom lenses can also supplement the standard AWS Well-Architected Framework with organization-specific questions.
