Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. Millions of customers, including the fastest-growing software companies, startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies are using AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster.
How do I get started on AWS?
Amazon Web Services offers comprehensive cloud computing services such as compute, storage, databases, analytics, and more. To get started with your SaaS journey on AWS read through best practices for SaaS on AWS or get hands on experience with the AWS Serverless SaaS workshop. Furthermore, AWS has universal documentation, tools for developers, a great community, and substantial courses that can help you get started building on AWS.
What costs can I save when I migrate to AWS?
By moving to the cloud, companies achieve value across the five pillars of the AWS Cloud Value Framework: cost savings, operational resilience, staff productivity, sustainability, and business agility. By reducing and eliminating tasks related to infrastructure administration, internal IT teams can focus on more strategic initiatives and improve productivity by spending more time on creating new features. By deploying to the cloud, software companies save costs associated with security events and unplanned downtime. Organizations are able to deliver services to end users faster by accelerating deployment and helping reduce application errors.
Your account team will help guide you through managing your costs, spotting ways to save, and measuring your cloud migration ROI. Try out our free cost evaluation tool to help you build a business case and projecting future savings.
This whitepaper shows the customers that migrate to AWS can experience reduced costs of operations, increased IT staff productivity, and reductions in downtime.
How can my software or technology company get help with our migration to AWS?
AWS has defined a three-step framework for migrating to the cloud:
Assess: Assess the organization’s readiness to move to the cloud. Define the desired business outcomes and develop the business plan for migration.
Mobilize: Address gaps uncovered in the mobilize phase and build a landing zone for the applications to move into. Make sure application teams have the appropriate skills and knowledge to operate in AWS.
Migrate: Move the applications into AWS with either native migration tooling or partner offerings.
If you have an AWS account team, they will be able to provide guidance and expert assistance with your migration. On top of this, AWS provides documentation to help you understand the options and tools available to you for a successful migration. We recommend starting with our How To Migrate page. You can also engage with AWS migration partners.
What AWS services can help us on our migration to the cloud?
There are a number of AWS solutions that can help with migrating workloads and data into the cloud.
For server migration, use the AWS Application Migration Service (MGN). This performs block level replication of all data and server configurations into AWS.
For data migration, use the AWS Database Migration Service (DMS). This performs one time migration and ongoing change replication from your on premise database into AWS, resulting in minimal downtime to your end customers. For more information, see the user guide.
