Run the Well-Architected Readiness Advisor Report
The Well-Architected Readiness Advisor report links Cloudcheckr's best practice checks to the AWS Well-Architected questions, helping you complete your reviews more efficiently and with greater confidence. The Readiness Advisor currently supports Well-Architected reviews using the AWS Well-Architected Lenses.
In addition to mapping Cloudcheckr best practice checks to the AWS questions, you can add and update the notes linked to each question within the AWS Well-Architected Tool. You can also export this report to CSV or PDF file for additional analysis or your own records.
