Why I love Amazon Web Services?
AWS is a fantastic resource that’s used a lot for test and development purposes when it was launched, however, nowadays the use is extensive. At least in my company we used for production also. The debate about how much and why companies use AWS for production applications is a no brain issue. People are increasingly using AWS to deploy applications designed and built for its always trend characteristics.
Last day, I re-discover all the services they are offering, it is amazing, most of the technologies are already pre-install, up & running. It safe tons of time&resources. Do you know for some big companies take more time (weeks, even months) to find the proper hardware that the actually the temporary job you want to do there?… I had to install a pseudo-production environment on a box under an Architect desk…it was a secret server…because it took such as 3 months to get a testing environment.
So what is AWS good for? You can leverage AWS’s unique characteristics to deploy applications unimaginable for traditional IT infrastructures and processes. These applications run on hundreds or thousands of virtual machines. This setup lets you scale to much larger user populations, support freemium economic models and respond to highly erratic workloads — all unsupportable in traditional IT infrastructure settings.
Have a look at the image and you’ll see the vast amount of ready-to-deploy trendy software that they offer!
