AWS Service Catalog allows organizations to create and manage catalogs of IT services that are approved for use on AWS. These IT services can include everything from virtual machine images, servers, software, and databases to complete multi-tier application architectures.
Amazon also supports the construction of web applications among other types of projects and solutions on their platform. Even with less experience, users are given a reliable platform for running containers or applications securely and at scale. AWS App Runner is capable of adjusting to the needs of the application whether it be compliance, the scale it needs to operate at, and latency.
High control and governance is a large focal point of Amazon’s Cloud services. Another solid service for maintaining the wellbeing and compliance of any AWS service is Control Tower, helping to further simplify governance with enough room to integrate third-party software for scaling. AWS Control Tower main function is for the construction and monitoring of new AWS environments regardless of size and complexity.
The most important step in marketing is the first step: gathering the data needed. Anything gathered during this phase will dictate everything from what is developed and how it is marketed. Having the right sponsorship and resources can significantly improve this process. Amazon’s Marketing Partner Network, a resource sponsorship program, helps to gather data on target customers and accelerate the process with additional AWS resources, tools, and ML training.
The most important components of a service are the service itself and the sources of its data, but those parts are completely worthless if they are separate and without the necessary connective tissue between them. AWS Glue is a serverless data pipeline that assists in finding data sources, preparing those sources, and directing data accordingly to where it’s needed. It’s easy to use and supports multiple processing and workload types.
Among other services, Amazon also provides Aurora – a database service with a global presence that is compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL at a mere tenth of the cost of traditional databases. True to AWS fashion, Amazon fully manages these databases helping to further reduce costs for the users and alleviate the need to dedicate resources towards maintenance. To prevent loss and damage, Aurora databases have nearly a 100% uptime with easy replication and a restoration of services in less than a minute. For newer users to AWS, immigrating data locally is incredibly easy.
There is plenty of data floating around regarding operational functionality that will have a knock-on effect for the rest of the organization. Amazon’s Quicksight aims to provide all members with the data they need when they need it in order to best make the decisions that will push the rest of the organization forward. This cloud-based service can distribute among organization members information that’s not only easy to read, but in a timely manner to all levels.
Having access to third-party software is helpful for offloading time that would have otherwise been dedicated towards building something from the ground up that’s already been built before. While it’s definitely someone else’s work, meaning that anything new will have to be built to accommodate its design, it leaves resources and time to be dedicated towards other endeavors. This is why AWS has its own Marketplace for the distribution of third-party software for its users to have access to.
Understandably, making the jump to the AWS cloud is not an easy investment to evaluate, especially from the perspective of a startup. Fortunately, AWS is generous enough to provide some hands-on experience with its various tools and utilities free of charge for either a short period of time or indefinitely depending on the service type. Here’s a rundown of everything you can expect from AWS’ Free Tier.
