Automate your cloud assessments — free
Archera’s free cloud procurement and commitment management platform helps you secure cloud certifications, discounts, and funding by automating common cloud service provider (CSP) assessments from AWS and Azure and greatly reducing the time required to meet accepted best practices.
Meet cloud best practices — in no time
In addition to helping your organization maintain best practices, cloud assessments like AWS Well-Architected Framework Review, AWS Well-Architected industry and technology lenses, and AWS Foundational Technical Review often help unlock access to CSP credits, assessment-driven discounts, and funding programs. Archera accelerates the process of completing these reviews through our automated assessments tool and by quickly connecting you with partners from our validated network who can both certify your compliance, and help with any remediation.
Automate your Well-Architected Framework Review (WAFR/WAR)
AWS WAFR/WAR assesses your operational and cloud infrastructure alignment with best practices. Archera connects to your AWS account in minutes and walks you through the review, automatically populating data from your entire environment or any custom subset of workloads. You’ll receive assessment results, improvement instructions, and progress tracking over time. Archera can also connect you with validated AWS services partners for implementation and remediation based on WAFR findings.
Automate AWS Well-Architected Lenses
AWS Well-Architected Lenses augment the WAFR/WAR criteria with a collection of AWS-created technology and industry-focused best practices for topics like containerization, DevOps practices, machine learning resources and workloads, and more. Archera includes many of the lenses among our assessments, making use of automation to accelerate your self-service or service-provider-guided review.
Automate your AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR)
The AWS Foundational Technical review consists of a set of best practices that help you reduce security, reliability, and operational risks that may negatively affect your SaaS software. Archera automates the FTR process, helping you to make your software eligible for the AWS Qualified Software badge, and enabling you to apply for the AWS Competency and AWS ISV Accelerate Programs.
Connect with Archera validated partners for remediation services
Automating your cloud assessments enables you to quickly identify opportunities to improve processes and technical infrastructure. Archera will work with you on any identified rate optimization opportunities, and we can also connect you with qualified expertise from our network of systems integrators and managed services partners to assist with efficient and precise remediation of any identified infrastructure issues.
“I’m like ‘how does this work, how does [Archera] make money?’ Then I dug into it and it made sense: I don’t spend any money and the only things [Archera has] access to are Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and the Cost Explorer data — the risk was low. There was little investment on my part required to engage to get set up. It’s been a fantastic tool … I’ve been super happy.”
