Improve your architectures by addressing High-Risk Issues

After the Well-Architected Review is completed, you will receive a report identifying High-Risk Issues and Medium-Risk Issues. These issues are measured against the Framework.

What are High-Risk Issues and Medium-Risk Issues?

High-Risk Issue

A High-Risk Issue (HRI) is a architectural and operational choice identified by AWS that might have a significant negative impact. It may affect organizational operations, assets, and individuals.

Medium-Risk Issue

A Medium-Risk Issue also might negatively impact business, but to a lesser extent.
