Let the experts help you reach your goals

We can set aside a few hours to discuss your environment and next steps.

Tactful Cloud will take the results from discovery and review to evaluate the next steps. If you desire remediation of issues found during the review, we will work with you to determine which items require immediate attention. For issues regarding the security and implementation of your environment infrastructure, Tactful Cloud will take the lead. If there are issues with the implementation of your application, we provide recommendations or work with you to find support.

During the review process, an architect will examine your current infrastructure and workloads against AWS best practices for security and implementation recommendations. No effort is taken to fix any outstanding issues or suggest enhancements at this time. Only an assessment is made to analyze any shortcomings and look for areas of improvement. Work will be conducted after you have agreed to any modifications.

Once a review is completed, Tactful Cloud will work with you to determine the next steps for remediation of findings. We will determine based on your organizations needs, a strategy to correct any outstanding issues that would provide benefit to your cloud implementation. Tactful Cloud will work with you when deciding what items are critical and need to be addressed immediately.

There are a couple places that pending work can be viewed. If the AWS Well-Architected Tool from within your account is leveraged for a review, the Dashboard from within the AWS Console can be reviewed by you at any time. Tactful Cloud will also provide any generated documentation or infrastructure inventories conducted in addition or substitution of the tool.

Yes, we require a minimum of Read-Only access. We will request individual AWS Account IDs and have someone on your team deploy a role that enables us to review your accounts while logging everything we do for auditability and security. The process is documented at docs.tactful.cloud/v/aws/access/support-roles.

Our reviews and strategic guidance can be scheduled by sending us a note from our Contact page. Just let us know that you are looking for an architectural review and we will work with you to schedule a short conversation as soon as possible.
