Business value of cloud modernization
Understanding the business value of infrastructure and application modernization can be difficult. AWS and the analysts at Known have simplified the process by measuring the change in 22 unique KPIs for cloud modernization. The results show a direct correlation between key modernization paths and KPI improvements, such as:
- Reduced app downtime by up to 40 percent with containers
- Increased frequency of feature deployment up to 41 percent with serverless
- Improved TCO of up to 39 percent with a pay-for-value billing model
Build modern applications on AWS
Through our experience building applications for Amazon.com as well as from serving millions of customers worldwide, AWS recommends proven paths for organizations to translate a vision of application modernization into a reality, including:
- Move from idea to market faster by streamlining app development and eliminating operational overhead
- Lower your total costs with serverless services that automatically optimize resources and operational cost
- Improve scalability with services that help you start quickly, scale as you go, and manage complexity as your apps evolve
Accelerate full-stack web and mobile development
Developing scalable, secure, high-performance web and mobile apps that empower users—while minimizing cost and complexity—is no easy task. AWS recommends three strategies that our customers employ to get it right.
- Help developer teams be more productive
- Streamline access to data sources
- Reduce operational overhead and reinvest in innovation
