Amazon Web Services
A broad cloud toolkit for scalable applications
Useful when an application needs flexible scaling, a wide choice of managed services and a clearly defined infrastructure design. My Global Solutions Group starts with your requirements, then scopes the platform, integrations and operational responsibilities around them.
What Amazon Web Services brings to your business
Storage & databases
S3 and managed database services offer different storage, performance and recovery models.
Operational visibility
CloudWatch and identity controls help teams monitor workloads and limit access.
Why we recommend considering it
Useful when an application needs flexible scaling, a wide choice of managed services and a clearly defined infrastructure design.
A practical business workflow
Build an application environment with separate production and testing accounts, monitored services and repeatable deployment.
Our recommendation depends on fit, not a promise that one vendor is right for every business. Existing contracts, internal skills and exit requirements are part of the assessment.
Implementation with a clear handover
- 1. Assess the fit. Map your workloads, users, integrations, budget and obligations.
- 2. Define the scope. Agree licences, account ownership, access controls and responsibilities.
- 3. Configure and test. Validate the workflow, failure cases and migration or rollback plan.
- 4. Document and operate. Hand over configuration, training and agreed support arrangements.
Costs, privacy & responsible adoption
Data transfer, storage requests and idle resources can materially affect bills. Budgets, access boundaries and recovery testing should be part of the design.
Check the vendor’s current product documentation, contractual terms and pricing before committing. Confirm which data is processed, who can access it and how it can be exported. Product names do not establish compliance or a particular partner certification.
