Benefits
Use cases
Educate customers about AWS Services
Help customers determine which AWS services would be best to achieve their goals. For example, show a customer which AWS analytics services will provide the scalability they need, at a cost that fits their budget.
Provide customers architectural guidance
Offer guidance on how to start and optimize AWS projects from the beginning. For example, help a customer plan their architecture for a data warehouse using Amazon Redshift to best achieve the cost savings possible.
Set up AWS services
Assist customers in launching their AWS services in order to get projects started. For example, get Amazon Cognito set up for a customer so they can enhance the security of the mobile app they are building.
Migrate workloads to AWS
Show customers the best and most efficient way to migrate their workloads to AWS. For example, help a customer choose the best AWS database for their needs and then migrate their legacy databases to AWS RDS to take advantage of better scalability and easier administration.
Estimate & optimize AWS spend
Provide advice on how to plan a customer’s budget for AWS projects and how to make sure they optimize their environment for costs. For example, show a customer how to right-size their Amazon EC2 instances to reduce costs and how to use Reserved Instances or EC2 Spot for cost savings.
Build an application
Give customers hands-on help with building applications on AWS. For example, build a website for a customer that has just set up AWS Lightsail.
