What is AWS?

Most of the people who are not familiar with the IT-sphere relate Amazon to Jeff Bezos and his main creation of Amazon online shopping. But if you ever tried to create and host your own software, you probably heard about Amazon Web Services that allows you to store and deliver any data.

AWS (launched in 2006) — is a cloud computing service that you can use in combinations tailored to your business and organizational needs. You can find more than 200 instruments from data storage to tools deployment and directories for content delivery. Among the benefits of using AWS are user-friendly interface, quick application deployment, security, and no capacity limits.

In Perfsys we created our own classification of AWS solutions — Evolution Pyramid that consists of different instruments, depending on the frequency of usage of our clients.

There are 3 levels in our pyramid. Every client can jump from the most frequently used (1st level) to the most advanced one (3d level), depending on his/her business needs and available resources.

AWS Cloud Solution Pyramid of Perfsys We defined 3 main levels for Cloud Storage Evolution:

  • - Hosting-only
  • - Microservices
  • - Serverless
