What is AWS IQ

Streamlining Development Outsourcing

AWS IQ is the platform where customers can propose projects and experts can post their expertise with AWS and what types of projects they can help with.  Offers and requests can cover a broad range of potential projects, including launching web and business applications, developing and training machine learning algorithms, migrating to the cloud, and building cloud solutions.  All experts who post on AWS IQ and can respond to requests are AWS certified and are required to have a high success rate.  Posting as either an expert or a user has no prerequisite cost.  Pay will instead be outlined within the proposal and can be set to either being upfront, on a schedule, or after achieving certain milestones of a given project.  AWS IQ is meant to be useful for newcomers to the cloud, kick-starting a new project, or aiding to complete existing projects.

With the exception of China, AWS IQ is made available to all customers on the platform.  Both individual consultants and companies who are located within eligible jurisdictions are able to post their offers.  Aside from what cost is arranged between parties upon agreeing to a project, this service is completely free to use.  When providers are constructing a project, they will need access to the customer’s AWS environment, requiring the customer to set up certain permissions in advance.  Unless the offering is being managed by the account administrator, the expert will need to receive permissions through AWS IAM.

Features

Expert Catalog

Think of it no differently from sifting through resumes on a job site or any other form of online shopping.  All offerings are categorized by the general field their capabilities cover.  While the lack of additional filters does leave something to be desired including something as basic as keeping the requests and experts separated, all the basic information is covered with each posting.  Each post covers the task being offered or requested, the general timetable it will take for the task to be completed, the pricing range, and the person or group who made the post along with a 5-star rating label and how many reviews they have received.  Drilling in further will provide additional details like the payment terms, services used, an introductory description of the poster, and all the reviews.

In-house Communication

AWS IQ comes with integral communication methods between the expert and the requester.  There are options for sending files, text chat, and video conferencing.  Everything discussed between both parties is completely confidential and kept protected with heavy encryption.
