What is AWS?

AWS (Amazon Web Services) is the world's most comprehensive cloud platform, offering over 200 services including computing power, storage, databases, networking, analytics, and machine learning. Companies use it to host websites, run applications, store data, and build everything from simple websites to complex enterprise systems. It solves the problem of expensive physical infrastructure by letting businesses pay only for what they use while providing global reach and enterprise-grade security. Truly skilled AWS professionals go far beyond spinning up basic EC2 instances. They understand architecture patterns, can design cost-optimized solutions, implement proper security practices, automate deployments, and troubleshoot complex distributed systems. They know which of the hundreds of AWS services to use for specific business needs and can architect solutions that scale efficiently while keeping costs under control.

Common Use Cases for AWS

Migrating existing applications from physical servers to the cloud

Setting up auto-scaling web applications that handle traffic spikes

Building data lakes and analytics pipelines for business intelligence

Implementing disaster recovery and backup systems

Creating development and testing environments that spin up on demand

Deploying machine learning models for real-time predictions

Who Should Hire AWS Experts?

Ideal For

Companies planning to migrate existing infrastructure to the cloud
Growing businesses that need scalable systems without upfront hardware investments
Organizations requiring enterprise-grade security and compliance capabilities
Teams building modern applications using microservices and serverless architectures
Businesses wanting to leverage advanced services like machine learning and analytics
Companies with variable workloads that benefit from pay-as-you-go pricing

May Not Be Right If

Very small businesses with simple hosting needs where shared hosting suffices
Organizations with strict data residency requirements that AWS regions can't meet
Companies heavily invested in other cloud platforms with no migration plans
One-time projects that don't require ongoing cloud infrastructure management

How to Hire AWS Experts

What to Look For

They can explain complex AWS architectures in simple terms and justify their design decisions.
They have hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.

Red Flags to Avoid

They only know basic EC2 and S3 but claim to be AWS experts.
They can't explain the security implications of their architectural choices.
They have no experience with infrastructure automation or treat everything as manual tasks.
They can't discuss cost optimization strategies or seem unaware of AWS pricing models.
Their AWS knowledge is theoretical without real-world troubleshooting experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of AWS expertise do I need for basic business operations like hosting a website and storing files?

For basic needs like hosting a simple website and file storage, you need someone with beginner to intermediate AWS skills. They should understand EC2 for web hosting, S3 for file storage, and basic security configurations. This level of work typically requires 2-6 months of AWS experience.

How can I tell if a candidate actually knows AWS well versus just having it on their resume?

Ask them to walk through a specific architecture they've built, including why they chose certain services and how they handled security and costs. Real AWS experts can explain trade-offs between different approaches and share specific challenges they've solved. Look for AWS certifications combined with hands-on project examples.

Can AWS handle our entire IT infrastructure, or are there things it can't do?

AWS can handle virtually all IT infrastructure needs including servers, databases, networking, and specialized services like AI/ML. However, it can't replace the need for skilled people to architect, configure, and maintain your systems. Some legacy applications may also require significant modification to work optimally in the cloud.

How well does AWS work with our existing tools like Office 365, Salesforce, or our accounting software?

AWS integrates well with most modern business tools through APIs and pre-built connectors. Popular integrations include Office 365, Salesforce, QuickBooks, and thousands of other applications. However, integration complexity varies, and you'll want an AWS expert who understands both systems to ensure smooth data flow.

How long does it typically take to migrate our systems to AWS or set up new infrastructure?

Simple setups like hosting a website can be done in days, while complex enterprise migrations often take 3-12 months. A typical small business migration (email, file storage, basic applications) usually takes 4-8 weeks. Timeline depends heavily on your current setup complexity and how much testing is required.

After our AWS setup is complete, how much ongoing maintenance and support will we need?

AWS infrastructure requires ongoing monitoring, security updates, cost optimization, and scaling adjustments. Plan for at least 10-20 hours per month for basic maintenance, more for complex setups. Many businesses opt for managed services or retain an AWS expert on a part-time basis rather than trying to handle everything in-house.
