- Initial benefit is huge, once that settles it takes time to derive incremental savings vs. time spent to master the offering
- Auto scaling helps with cost optimization and usage monitoring helps to push back against users who allocate more than what they need

Cybersecurity analytics & threat exposure powered by AWS!

- We could have the same services with other quality providers for 60% less cost.
- We could get systems up and running with 1 day or less of system training elsewhere, compared to weeks with AWS.
- Our security is compromised as basic processes like replacing Private Keys for access are impossible in AWS consoles for EC2 and similar services. We either initiate new server groups or hack out the old keys on the servers by hand.
- The RDS service cannot be backed up and restored without changing AWS technology, requiring a huge reconfiguration of SaaS servers.
- Basic DOS protection requires more services, more training, and more complexity. For other services it's built-in.

AWS best to go service anytime.

AWS Review
- Once you get going, we've found AWS quite straightforward and easy to use.
- Cloudwatch alerting allows monitoring of systems 24/7.
- Hassle-free OS updates.
- Due to the elasticity of cloud, we can scale up or down without any upfront costs, and this have saved a lot for us. During COVID, we have scaled down our resources to 1/10th of the actual capacity, and this had positive savings and this can't be done if its not for cloud
- Support cost if we have enterprise plan would cost us a fortune
- ROI would be so high if we opt for reserved type of instances but the catch would be there is lock in period.

Set and forget cloud services
- Saved us at least 25% in hosting costs./
- Provided us with a very low cost and high uptime cloud deployment server.
- Helps to mitigate fixed cost, e.g. more on demand
- Costs can spiral if you dont have safe guards in place
- By requiring cloud native design we have saved many dev hours in the long run by putting these designs in place
- We are now operating more cost-effectively and with faster delivery in AWS compared to our data centers.
- It's a tougher skillset to find people who are competent AWS engineers.
