Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Amazon Web Services offers a comprehensive range of cloud services, which we can utilise at a cost-effective price as well as offering the flexibility and scalability to fast-track deployment of server and storage infrastructure for our clients. We are also able to set up test / Dev environments for testing applications quickly as well as setting up secure cloud disaster recovery (DR) sites with minimal costs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Amazon Web Services is a very helpful platform because of its attractive interface that allows me to obtain and configure capacity information, with minimal friction, that perfectly suits our company. Moreover, it helps me to take complete control of my computer resources and helps to reduce the time required to obtain and to boot new servers, as well. Apart from this, it provides tools to be build-failure resilient applications and to isolate them from common failure scenarios, in a very efficient manner.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Being part of RND team, we do data analytics at PetaByte scale. Amazon Web Services helped us to efficiently orchestrate pipeline and perform data analytics on EMR and Sage notebook. Using Cloudformation and Step functions, we can deploy the pipeline in production reliably without worrying about infrastructure. Also, Amazon Web Services support team was accommodating while setting up initial infrastructure and troubleshooting any EMR or Spark related issues.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Amazon Web Services as our primary compute platform. We run our primary applications and run our business from the Amazon cloud. As an IT professional, AWS cuts out the busy work of IT. AWS lets me focus on the needs to the business and not the needs of datacenter hardware. We're able to deploy new systems within minutes without needing to worry about having enough server capacity.

AWS: short for Awesome

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

AWS is used in many, but not all, departments within our organization. Leveraging AWS allows for our company to avoid upfront infrastructure investments and scale to customer demand with a very short ramp time (if any at all). Using a secure and best practice common cloud infrastructure mitigates much (but not all) of the security and business continuity risks.

AWS is the premier cloud in most organizations. AWS is used by the entire company, from Engineering to HR, to try to solve all problems possible with code in a version-controlled manner. AWS tries to solve all technical problems that an organization has with scale and off-premises. Since AWS constantly releases new products, it maintains a premier edge.

We are using Amazon as a cloud service provider. We are using Amazon across all the departments in the organization. It has all the services we need, from virtual machines to serverless. We mostly use serverless, DynamoDB, S3 and virtual machines with virtual private cloud. So far AWS was really useful. We haven't faced any issues yet.

We use Amazon Web Services as the backbone of our software-as-a-service product. We use it to host media files for streaming, downloading, etc with our client app. Our product involves a wide range of media files: images, audio files, video files, documents, etc and some of them are quite large, so we store it all using AWS.

We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) for hosting almost every imaginable type of application.

It is being used by an individual department. It provides scalability without the need to manage server infrastructure. It offers versatile services such as data warehousing, machine learning, and performance monitoring. You also have control of who accesses what feature through identity and access management, as well as audit activity through Cloud Trail. It is easy to import your data into AWS, so start-up time is quick.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Both within our organization and for clients, we implement several different Amazon Web Services. We mostly make use of EC2 for hosting private cloud servers/applications, Simple Storage Service (S3) for hosting data in the cloud, both for active use and backup, and S3 Glacier for archiving low-touch data to the cloud. All of these AWS services allow us to provide on-demand, infinitely expandable cloud services as needed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

AWS is being used by the IT department mainly. We take advantage of manged VMs, serverless databases, and different services in order to publish our web applications to external and internal users. It is also used by our analytics department for predictions.
AWS addresses operational costs related to on-premise infrastructure; it helps to simplify infrastructure management and in other cases, eliminating infrastructure management.

We migrated our transaction processing system from our own hardware in a data center to the AWS cloud. In addition, we migrated our accounting server as well. So our whole organization is now using it. We also migrated our Oracle database server to Amazon RDS and the performance increase was a nice surprise.

A Product Managers Perspective on AWS and Cloud Computing by Amazon

Score 6 out of 10

Review Source

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our goal as a company is to ensure that our services are efficient and fast to load. After years of using traditional web hosts, we finally made the switch to Amazon Web Services and we have not looked back. Our biggest issues with traditional web hosting was the inability to store large amounts of data and the lack of scalability for our different applications. AWS allows us to run our services more efficiently and without absorbing the high cost of owning servers. For our business it's really about solving 3 problems:
  1. Scaling - The solution should be able to allow us to scale effectively without the hassles of setting up new servers.
  2. Cost effective - The solution should allow us to manage our costs effectively so that none of our clients have to pay more for our services.
  3. Integration - The solution should integrate well into our development teams coding and not slow them down.
Amazon Web Services has done these for us.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

AWS has completely changed our business, 1000%. We used to be tied to a server located in our office. Access was limited and we were constantly crashing, due to software updates or other items. AWS holds our entire database, which includes over 25 years worth of data. While not a direct reason, because we made the switch to AWS, we have been able to move to a smaller office space because we are not longer dependent on a space that includes a server closet. We've saved a considerable amount of money since the switch because we are no longer calling a developer to come in in an emergency situation to fix our server.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

AWS is Infrastructure As A Service for us so we can focus on what our core strengths are. We started with AWS 8 years ago for one of our Strategic Business Units and honestly waited for other competitors to meet or exceed what we received in services from AWS. While we did shop around, early on, largely for pricing reasons as our consumption increased across our entire organization. Then Bezos did what he's best at: he responded to market demand with even more elasticity, even greater service levels (for which he is known to be maniacal) and after all of our shopping around, we made a proactive decision to stay!

AWS is used because it was an easy-to-deploy infrastructure solution for our core applications as well as any future applications. It is easy to provision different resources, connect those resources, and provide a security to them relatively easily. It addresses the issue of spinning up a quick infrastructure with a customized configuration and still keep early costs very low.
