Cloud migration:
From obstacles to opportunities
From startups to small and medium-sized businesses to enterprises, businesses
are facing infrastructure challenges that have a direct impact on business
growth. Increasingly, organizations are making cloud-based investments to help
them grow their customer base, accelerate innovation, and achieve a leadership
position within their industry.
For organizations that have already started their cloud journey, as well as those
still relying on legacy environments, the challenges for developers and IT teams
are twofold:
• They must support an increasing number of business applications at scale
within the available infrastructure budgets. And they must get the job done
faster while meeting application performance requirements to ensure high-
quality user experiences.
• IT decision-makers must have the resources and feature-rich tools with global
scale to enable innovation, speed, and growth. To achieve these goals, they
must bring new applications and user experiences to the global marketplace
consistently, reliably, and quickly.
But building and maintaining on-premises infrastructure is time-consuming
and expensive. Fortunately, AWS makes it possible for organizations of all sizes
and types to build, run, and scale their applications in the cloud easily, rapidly,
and cost-effectively. With more than 200 services globally, AWS is the world's
most comprehensive cloud platform and can bring infrastructure closer to your
business and your customers.
