No. The checklist is designed for both AWS beginners and experienced practitioners. Each check includes step-by-step implementation instructions specifically written to be understandable without deep AWS expertise. That said, basic familiarity with AWS concepts will help you implement changes faster.

The checklist is updated quarterly to reflect the latest AWS best practices and service improvements. When you purchase, you receive all future updates at no additional cost.

Absolutely. The Notion database format allows you to customize the checklist by adding company-specific checks, modifying existing items, or filtering for only the AWS services you use.

Yes. For organizations that prefer expert assistance, we offer our AWS Foundation Service - a consultancy retainer where our team implements these best practices for you. We handle the entire process, from assessment to implementation to verification, allowing your team to focus on core business objectives rather than infrastructure maintenance.

No. The checklist is valuable for all environments. Use it to establish best practices in development and test environments, or to optimize existing production workloads. Many organizations use it as a pre-launch readiness assessment.

The checklist is organized by service, so you can easily focus on only the sections relevant to your infrastructure. You're not paying for irrelevant information—the comprehensive coverage ensures the checklist remains valuable as your AWS usage expands.
