AWS architecture review and cloud architecture: what would break first, and the fix
Your AWS set-up grew one decision at a time. Before you scale, raise funds or answer a security questionnaire, find out what would break first, what is exposed and what costs too much. Then we build the fixes, or your team does.
IOanyT Innovations provides AWS cloud architecture services with a proven track record of scaling platforms from 300 to 30,000+ concurrent users with minimal downtime at cutover. IOanyT has built on AWS since 2016 and is an AWS Advanced Partner. Services include AWS architecture design and review, cloud migration, serverless development, cost optimization, multi-region disaster recovery, and audit-ready security design. IOanyT is an AWS Advanced Partner.

AWS architecture review
We review your architecture across the six areas of AWS’s Well-Architected Framework: security, reliability, performance, cost, operations and sustainability. You get a written, ranked list of risks, with the fix for each.
What is actually running
A diagram of your set-up as found, rather than as designed.
A risk register
Each finding, its impact, how likely it is, and the fix.
A staged fix plan
Most urgent first, with the effort for each stage and a fixed price if you want us to do it.
A readout call
We walk your team through the findings and the plan.
How it works
-
Step 1
Kick-off and read-only access
We confirm which workloads are in scope. You create a read-only role from the exact permissions we send.
-
Step 2
Map what is running
We draw what is actually running in your account, as found rather than as designed.
-
Step 3
Review across six areas
Security, reliability, performance, cost, operations and sustainability, each finding in the risk register.
-
Step 4
Fix plan and readout
A staged fix plan, most urgent first, and a call to walk your team through it.
What you own
Access is read-only, through a role you create and can remove at any time. We change nothing in your account. The findings are yours: fix them yourselves, with another firm or with us.
What it does not cover
- Making the fixes (each stage is priced in the plan; your team, another firm or us).
- A certification, a compliance opinion, or an official AWS Well-Architected Review.
- Other clouds.
This is an independent review, not an official AWS Well-Architected Review. We take no referral fees on model or platform recommendations; IOanyT is an AWS Advanced Partner. Only need the bill looked at? See AWS cost optimization.
Real-World Scalability Proof

Our Architecture Principles
Scalability First
Design for 10x growth from day one. Auto-scaling, load balancing, and distributed architecture patterns so the system can grow with demand.
High Availability
Multi-AZ deployments, automatic failover, and disaster recovery built-in, with redundancy at every layer.
Cost Optimization
Right-size resources, leverage spot instances, implement auto-scaling policies. Reduce AWS costs without sacrificing performance. Need a plan now? See AWS cost optimization.
Security & Compliance
Zero-trust architecture, encryption at rest and in transit, audit-ready by design, to support your SOC 2 or HIPAA work. Security best practices from the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
Our own product
Need the architecture watched, secured and kept audit-ready once it is live? VigilCloud runs monitoring, security, compliance, cost and CI/CD for you, mostly automated, with a senior engineer on every escalation. The 2am page goes to us; the morning report goes to you.

Is this an official AWS Well-Architected Review?
No. It is an independent review organised around the same six areas, with a staged fix plan.
Do you need admin access?
No. Read-only access through a role you create and can remove. We change nothing in your account.
Will this help with a security questionnaire or due diligence?
It gives you a written view of your risks and a plan to fix them. It is not a certification or a compliance opinion.
Do we have to use you for the fixes?
No. The plan is written so your team or any supplier can carry it out.
Start with the free Review.
Free, 60–90 minutes. Bring the system or decision you are weighing; we tell you what to check first, in a 2-page note you keep.
