JRC
Mining group with operations in Peru, Mexico and Canada. SAP S/4HANA moved off VMware to AWS in four weeks, and skie has operated the environment since.

Build on a foundation of excellence.
Move your AWS workloads from “it works” to Well-Architected through automated reviews and continuous optimization across all six pillars.
How it works
Automated analysisAI-powered assessment
Continuous improvementarchitecture that evolves
Implementation includedwe report and we remediate
Measurable outcomesreal metrics, tracked
The difference
From static review to living architecture.
Traditional Well-Architected reviews are point-in-time. skie.io’s platform identifies gaps and closes them automatically.
Traditional review
A report, then it is up to you.
- One-time PDF of findings
- Manual implementation by your team
- Outdated within weeks as the estate changes
- No follow-through
skie.io review
Findings become scheduled, verified changes.
- Scored findings, prioritized by risk, impact and effort
- Remediation executed by Sage, Guardian and Muse
- Re-assessed continuously under Guardian
- Architecture health tracked month to month
Two levels
A high-level pass to see where you stand. A full review to fix it.
Be clear about what each one is, so you know what to expect.
High-level review
Automated, included in the free assessment
An automated pass across the six pillars using skie.io’s review tooling. It identifies the obvious gaps and scores them, so you see the shape of the problem before anyone is engaged.
- Automated checks across cost, security, reliability, performance, operations and sustainability
- Scored findings with a short written summary
- Delivered alongside the cost and operations assessment
- Needs an additional read-only role beyond cost data
What it is not: a full Well-Architected Review, a penetration test or a compliance audit. It tells you where to look.
Full review
Architect-led, with implementation
A certified AWS architect works through every pillar with your team, validates the automated findings, adds what tooling cannot see, and leaves with a prioritized plan that the skie.io platform then executes.
- Workload interviews and architecture walkthroughs
- Findings prioritized by risk, impact and effort; quick wins first
- Implementation plan with phased changes and maintenance windows
- Remediation executed and verified, with monthly health scores under Guardian
Scope: a single workload or the whole organization, multi-account. About 30 days from discovery to remediation.

Process
From assessment to excellence in 30 days.
1
Week 1: Automated discovery
Deploy discovery tools, map resources and dependencies, identify patterns, baseline metrics.
2
Week 2: Intelligent assessment
Sage covers cost and sustainability, Guardian reliability and security, Muse finds automation opportunities. Findings prioritized with risk scores.
3
Week 3: Implementation planning
Quick wins, phased plans for complex changes, automated remediation scheduling, stakeholder communication plan.
4
Week 4: Automated remediation
Sage applies cost optimizations, Guardian deploys reliability improvements, Muse builds automation workflows, with continuous validation.
5
Ongoing: Living architecture
Monthly architecture health scores, automated best-practice updates, proactive issue prevention, quarterly executive reviews.
Why it matters
The hidden costs of architectural debt.
Without Well-Architected practices, the gaps compound. With skie.io: optimized costs from day one, industry-leading reliability, peak performance maintained, security by design, automated operations.
40%higher costs from inefficient architectures
3×more outages from reliability gaps
60%slower performance from poor design
5×security-incident risk from misconfigurations
200%more overhead from manual processes

Common questions
Before you ask.
How is this different from other Well-Architected Reviews?
The findings are implemented. Remediation is executed by the skie.io platform and verified, rather than handed over as a report.
What is the high-level review, exactly?
An automated pass across the six pillars that scores the obvious gaps. It is part of the free assessment, needs an additional read-only role, and tells you where to look. It is not a full review, a penetration test or a compliance audit.
Does it work on a mature environment?
Yes. The review works with any AWS environment, including ones that have been through a previous review; prior findings are validated and what has changed is identified.
How are findings prioritized?
By risk, impact and effort. Quick wins come first; larger changes are phased.
Will remediation cause downtime?
Most changes are zero-downtime. Anything that needs a window is scheduled into maintenance windows you control, using techniques such as blue-green deployments.
Living architecture
