Infrastructure: Every part of your business which includes mobile apps, web apps, documents, videos, images, data, can be on the AWS cloud. And AWS’s infrastructure can handle and manage your business load, irrespective of the load size.

Security and Backup: Security is a critical consideration, that is important for any business because there is always sensitive information that no business wants to get out. AWS follows extremely strict and stringent guidelines to ensure proper data security, and provide backup for all your data.

E-Commerce: For businesses in the ecommerce sector - Amazon Web Services provides some fantastic features. All the transactions are done on business websites, and website hosting can be done securely and quite seamlessly. It requires minimal effort from your end, as everything is automated on AWS. It also provides a lot of flexibility through its SDKs to help you provide your customers exactly what they need.

App Hosting: Amazon Web Services makes it easy for you to manage your mobile and web applications. Your apps can run and work better because with AWS you can deploy and scale better, which in turn will make your apps more stable and provide you and your customers better user experience.

Instances: There are multiple options for you to choose from so that you have the right amount of instances that suit your business needs.

Cost: There is no one-size-fits-all here so the cost to each business is different. It’s expensive and a lot of work to have and maintain the hardware, infrastructure, and systems administration. There is no need for any of that with AWS. You only pay for what you actually use and no more.

Auto Scaling can be used with Amazon EC2 to provide more or less capacity depending on slow times or spikes in demand. This means that you don’t waste any money because it automatically matches the ups and downs of customers’ transactions.

ElastiCache can help with web application performance at a lower cost. You don’t have to manage, maintain, or purchase anything else with this. This web service makes it easy to operate an in-memory cache. ElastiCache frees up your time and saves you money.

Migrating your infrastructure can not only be time-consuming and frustrating, but it can be complex and have a pretty hefty price tag to it. AWS, on the other hand, makes the process quick and easy all while keeping the cost low for both established businesses as well as startups.
