The Benefits of AWS

1. Ease of Use

AWS is designed to allow application providers, ISVs and vendors to securely host applications – whether an existing application or a new SaaS based application. The AWS Management Console allows provides access to the AWS application hosting platform.

2. Flexibility

AWS enables you to select the operating system, programming language, web application platform, database and other services you need. The AWS virtual environment lets you load the software and services your application requires. This flexibility eases the migration process for existing applications while providing options for building new solutions.

3. Cost-Effective

With AWS you are only billed for the compute power, storage and other resources used. There are no long term contracts and no up front commitments,

4. Reliability

By building solutions on AWS, you take advantage of a proven, scalable, reliable and secure global infrastructure. Indeed – it is the backbone of the Amazon.com business.

5. Scalability

Using AWS tools, Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing, applications can scale up or down based on demand, allowing you to access compute and storage resources as and when you need them.

6. Security

AWS utilises an end-to-end approach to secure and harden their infrastructure, including physical, operational and software measures.
