Migration to a cloud-based platform usually requires an analysis of specific services for hosting, computing, storage, databases, networking and security. AWS cloud services offer a comprehensive set of solutions that cater to the needs of businesses to host applications, websites, data and development tools.
AWS provides an array of products that cater to different aspects of software development, and businesses do not need to treat it as an umbrella term. Each tool serves a particular purpose or addresses unique objectives, and this simplifies the task of building a complete environment that supports existing and future projects. Intesols offers AWS assistance to help organisations plan, configure and manage their cloud-based ecosystem.
The main categories of AWS services that businesses should consider are:
AWS Lambda for serverless code execution
Amazon ECS for deploying and scaling containers
Amazon S3 for reliable storage of data
Amazon RDS for fully managed databases
Amazon DynamoDB for NoSQL database needs
Amazon VPC for isolated network environments
AWS CloudFront for global content delivery
AWS IAM for user and access management
AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure management
The objective is to determine the tools that best suit the needs of the company, including the applications it intends to host, data to store, access control requirements and development objectives. A business that wants to host a website with user data will have different priorities than an organisation that wants to develop applications using databases and containers.
When considering migration to AWS, it is important to familiarise with the key components to select and design an efficient cloud infrastructure. Explore the list of AWS cloud services provided by Intesols and learn more about the individual tools and their impact.
