Frequently asked questions

Is this really free?
Yes. We offer this WAFR as a no-cost service. Apex Lab delivers hundreds of Well-Architected reviews every year, and we use these to introduce our team to AWS customers who are a good fit for deeper engagements.
Who actually runs the review?
Our senior AWS solution architects. Every review is delivered by the same team that builds and scales production AWS workloads for our clients. Apex Lab is an AWS Advanced Partner.
What access does the IAM role grant?
The CloudFormation stack creates a read-only IAM role with permissions to describe EC2 instances, security groups, IAM policies, S3 buckets, RDS databases, Lambda functions, CloudWatch alarms, and other services. It cannot modify, delete, or create any resources.
How long does the review take?
You'll receive the full report within 1–2 business days. Once your CloudFormation stack is deployed, our architects get straight to work — no back-and-forth or scheduling required.
Who sees my AWS data?
Only the Apex Lab team. The data is used solely to generate your WAFR report and is never shared with third parties.
Can I revoke access after the review?
Yes. Simply delete the CloudFormation stack from your AWS Console and the IAM role is removed immediately. We recommend doing this once you've received your report.
