But, what advantages can we find when using the AWS platform?

Redundancy: This means that our services are prepared to be available in different areas, this allows us that our services are not affected in the event of an electrical failure or any eventuality in the data centers.

 
Globalization: AWS infrastructure is available in different regions around the world, so we can take advantage of this and have our services distributed across different countries in a matter of minutes.

Savings models for use: With AWS you can configure payment plans depending on how long you are going to use the services and how much you are going to use them, in this way, for example, you can hire a data storage service: the more data you store, the storage cost will decrease.

 
Scalability: If your business has variations in demand by type of client, by time or by region in the world, AWS will allow you to adjust the power of your services automatically, when your business experiences peaks in demand, you will not be You are going to worry about your services being able to support it, since AWS is going to be in charge of adjusting the power (processing and memory) of your services according to variations in demand.

 
Security: AWS has a shared responsibility model, which means that all the services you have within it are protected against security attacks, denial of service attacks, data privacy, etc. You will only worry about authorizing the people or services you need to use your services (security in the cloud). AWS offers a service that can detect which security aspects you have to take care of in your configuration so that you can take action on them.

 
Budget Management: In AWS you can configure how much you want to spend either at the dollar or data level, allowing you to set limits for different accounts within the organization so that expenses are controlled at all times. AWS provides you with an analysis of the use of your services so that based on these reports you can plan your budgets in an optimal way.

 
AWS Managed Services: this function of AWS allows some services to be managed independently, the user does not have to provide anything for them to work, for example, if you need a database, the user would not have to worry about backups, if you need a web service (API), it is not necessary to provide a server for it to work, AWS takes care of providing everything you need so that you only use the service.

 
Integrations with Third Parties: AWS has a Marketplace, where we can find third-party services and that we can include in our configuration in a very simple way, ensuring compatibility with our services and their security.

 
Ease of Use: Provisioning servers, technology, and resources in the world outside the cloud are tedious, expensive, and time-consuming, however, in AWS you can provide everything you need to run your business in a matter of minutes, as well itself, it allows you to clone your configuration so that you do not need to repeat it when taking your business to another region.
