- We've been overpaying - and we're still overpaying. As a small education startup, it's really hurt us.

Serverless Saviors!
- We have reduced our S3 operating costs by 70% migrating to S3-IA.
- We save an average of 50% by bidding of spot instances and high capacity hours.
- It has allowed us to automate a large amount of our workload.

AWS is the best cloud provider
- Savings on operational costs (no datacenter, small infrastructure team).
- Positive: I have been saved by spinning up an emergency EC2 instance on more than a few occasions. Be it for disaster recovery, or just to set up a server for testing. For IT departments, having basically the entirety of Amazon's network infrastructure at your fingertips is invaluable.
- Negative: I have definitely been burned by AWS cost overruns, usually due to the services being too useful/successful for their own good, introducing mission creep. Basically, if you set up a solution for a client using AWS, they are so pleased they want to expand what AWS is used for. You can explain costs estimates using Cost Explorer but either stakeholders don't pay attention or continue to tweak plans during implementation, then are surprised by AWS monthlies. Not entirely a dig on AWS, but pretty common in my experience.
- Positive: Glacier usage eliminates the need for on-premise archive solutions and having staff physically move archive media offsite for DR purposes.
- AWS gave us the flexibility of having one to thousands of servers from day one.
- We did not have to invest in the servers from day one and we had a saving of 40%.
- As AWS is expensive compared to its competition, our opex grew higher than the companies using other services from AWS competitors.
- It really does a great job for the work it is tasked to do.

Novice migration to AWS was a success
- Our main reason for migration was better redundancy, building this ourselves was cost prohibitive.
- We are able to accomplish more with our system using existing staff by using the AWS tools that are available.
- Using Amazon Web Services has allowed us to develop and deploy new SAAS solutions quicker than we did when we used traditional web hosting. This has allowed us to grow our service offerings to clients and also add more value to our existing services.
- Having AWS deployed has also allowed our development team to focus on delivering high-quality software without worrying about whether our servers will be able to handle the demand. Since AWS allows you to adjust your server needs based on demand, we can easily assign a faster server instance to ease and improve service without the client even knowing what we did.

AWS has changed our business in a multitude of ways.
- We've saved over $10,000 in the 2 years we've worked with AWS. We no longer have to pay to upgrade our internal server, we have no downtime. We no longer depend on our developer to come and 'fix' the server when it fails.
- Resource availability of free-tier resources is very low compared to needs before an application can become potentially profitable.
- AWS requires less time to set up and configure than other comparable services, but not better than all services.

AWS Can't Be Beat for What We All Really Need: Great Service!
- Profitability: We've a team of very hands-on engineers and what they would need to build what we now get from AWS, would not have had the level of profitability we get with AWS. At first, our inhouse team really wanted this work inhouse. Now, they're very grateful it's not. Billing is always accurate and automated with full justification in every report. We can plan our growth far more accurately.
- Flexibility: We can onboard new customers in an instant. We can give greater service levels to our current customers, just as quickly and dynamically too, if their needs change.
- Ease of use: seriously, one or two phone calls is pretty much all we've ever had to make when our needs change and it's been that easy for the last 4 or 5 years now.
