Amazon Web Services -- Easy to setup, difficult to manage
Before my company changed hands, my department underwent training for AWS. If you are going to use AWS, I highly recommend taking the training on CBTNuggets, otherwise you will be lost. The feature that I have used is S3 storage. It is ridiculously easy to use, and very affordable.

Cloud Solutions at a glance: AWS
Amazon Web Services allows me to create a virtual machine running Linux so that security, availability, elasticity, reliability, and cost factors are all accounted for. Information Assurance is of top priority, including claims-based authentication, single sign-on, MEAN stack, and secure SSH access with public and private PKI infrastructure to leverage AAA best practices.

AWS for the win!
Amazon Web Services is only used by the video, production and tech teams at my company. We are a non-denominational mega church with 5 campuses and we use AWS S3 to upload and manage the MP3 recordings of the message from our weekend services. I have been with this organization for over 4 years and this is one of the few weekly tasks I do that has not changed.

My personal experience working with AWS
Currently, I use AWS for different applications based on client requirements. I work with digital marketing mobile applications using open-source technologies. Namely Apache, PHP and MySQL. Using AWS to create an instant infrastructure from ground-up allows faster innovation in bringing different solutions to the market. AWS’s pay-as-you-go model allows for a lower upfront investment.
Amazon Web Services is being used cross the whole organization. We have VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) on AWS and send data via Kinesis. And we provide the solution to customers via a web server in VPC.

Scale your business with AWS
We are using AWS S3 for image storage, SNS for push notifications and SQS for background jobs. It is used in the engineering department only. We use S3 for all of our images on our website and iOS applications, SNS for iOS push notification management, and SNS for background jobs for timed mailers.

AWS for all your needs
I am an independent consultant. As such, I provide software solutions and consulting services to customers with different needs. AWS gives me the tools to cover much of their needs, so it is for me a key tool in the performance of my activities, specifically as application server, databases and files through IaaS go.

Cost effective web services
We are using AWS S3 and EC2 to host our customer's campaign website, public videos clips, content management system etc. S3 is really easy to setup and we don't need to put a lot of effort to maintain it; the bandwidth is virtually unlimited and it is very helpful for video download. The availability is great, so we don't need to worry about server or storage failure. Scale up the server in just a few clicks.

It hosts our web server, databases, web services, transcoding, and storage for the entire delivery and allows us to leverage the global edge servers for content delivery to our users around the world. It is the platform for our entire product.

Amazon hasn't let me down
I personally use Amazon Web Services, primarily for database storage. A lot of the services are free or cheap. I feel as if my data is secure and trust that Amazon Web Services isn't trying to make a huge profit off of me as much as they are trying to provide a service.

AWS infrastructure with respect to HIPAA
Amazon Web Services houses and helps us manage our development and production level services. Amazon Web Services helps us run production level equipment without having to mange the infrastructure ourselves. We are able to leverage Amazon Web Services in our development and integration life cycles to minimize the cost of equipment and employees, because we don't have to manage the physical hardware. The virtual infrastructure that we set up also allows us to to provide HIPAA level security to our clients.

AWS automated my development and deployment processes of highly available applications
We are using Amazon Web Services in all our new web applications and we are moving all the projects in the company. Amazon Web Service has allowed to automate the infrastructure of our projects, increase the speed of the development, and scale our software easily with reduced down time. Amazon Web Services is fundamental in our array of infrastructure solutions, since we host the applications, backups, static files and databases thinking always as architecture of services. We integrate perfectly our development instances, with a repository, that is connected to Amazon Web Services in order to provide continuous integration and delivery by running automated testings and deploy it to the Amazon Web Services cloud in minutes automatically.

AWS is a great product and well documented.
Amazon Web Services is being used by the Software Development department. We use S3 to host videos and thumbnail images for a particular web application. In the past we've used EC3 to host a Node.js server and RDS services to host a MySQL database.

AWS - This is where your cloud journey begins
We are using AWS stack as multi geography, multi cluster infrastructure to run data and compute cloud. We are using EC2, S3, SNS, SQS, ELB and Route53 as a part of our major architectural components. This infrastructure is connected via continuous integration/delivery pipeline to leverage fast, focused and frequent feature deployments.
We create web based software and we always use Amazon as our primary hosting solution. We deploy to EC2 either using Beanstalk or setting up instances ourselves, host databases on RDB, all our DNS are on Route 53, balance load through AWS balancers, all content on S3, for security seasons for a few clients we used AWS VPC with VPN connection.

As the organization transitions from an in-house to SaaS model AWS was procured for hosting certain capabilities. This early-stage effort has signaled the validity of the transition model for future applications. Results have reduced inhouse IT expenditures and provided a simplified enterprise connectivity architecture through interface standards and high-performance bus speeds.
