The AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR) enables you to identify and remediate risks in your products or solutions. The FTR requires you to meet a specific set of requirements based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework, to ensure that your solutions are following AWS best practices related to security, reliability, and operational excellence.

AWS Partners with ISV solutions use the FTR to validate their product against a specific set of requirements for security, reliability, and operational excellence. Successful completion of an FTR enables them to earn a “Reviewed by AWS” solutions badge, unlock funding benefits, and become eligible for various AWS Partner Programs.

An AWS WAFR covers a broad set of best practices across the five pillars of the Framework — cost optimization, performance efficiency, security, reliability, and operational excellence. It is used as a mechanism to continually evaluate and improve your customers’ AWS workloads.

MontyCloud DAY2™ is a cloud management platform designed to accelerate and automate the discovery of the target workload’s noncompliance with AWS Well-Architected best practices, help identify potential cost savings of up to 30% or more, quickly locate high-risk security loopholes—lack of MFA, resources in public subnets, etc.—and design for better performance and reliability to support your growing business.

MontyCloud DAY2™ streamlines the FTR process and will accelerate and improve the accuracy of a Foundational Technical Review, Well-Architected Framework Review, or other AWS infrastructure assessment.

What’s more, since alignment with Well-Architected guidance should be monitored continuously (best practices are not one-and-done), nOps provides continuous compliance feedback on the health of your AWS infrastructure. This is powerful as a follow-on to your Review or simply to drive good cloud practices.
