What Is AWS?

Definition

AWS, Amazon Web Services, is a major cloud computing platform offering on-demand infrastructure, storage, databases, and application services that organizations can use instead of running their own physical servers.

Importance

For most enterprises, running infrastructure in the cloud rather than on owned hardware has become the default, since it removes the capital cost and maintenance burden of physical servers and lets capacity scale up or down with actual demand. As one of the largest cloud providers, AWS's breadth of services, from basic compute and storage through to AI and data analytics tools, makes it a common foundation for organizations building or modernizing enterprise applications.

Application

We build and deploy on AWS as one of the primary cloud platforms across client engagements, covering compute, storage, managed databases, and networking, alongside AWS's AI and automation services where they fit a client's specific needs. This includes both rehosting or replatforming existing applications onto AWS infrastructure, and building new cloud-native applications designed around AWS's managed services from the outset. Choice of cloud provider is generally driven by a client's existing environment and requirements rather than a fixed preference, but AWS is a strong fit for organizations wanting broad service choice and mature tooling.
