Productivity
Improvement in productivity

Cloud native applications can improve the operational efficiency and productivity of a business by using automation, orchestration, and integration capabilities of cloud computing. Cloud native applications can automate their development and deployment processes by using services such as AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CloudFormation. Cloud native applications can also orchestrate and integrate their components by using services such as AWS Step Functions, AWS Lambda, and Amazon API Gateway.

Innovation
Innovation acceleration

Cloud native applications can accelerate the innovation and growth of a business by using the breadth and depth of services and technologies offered by cloud computing. Cloud native applications can leverage services such as Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Aurora, and Amazon RDS to enable data persistence and access in their applications. Cloud native applications can also use services such as Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Comprehend, Amazon Rekognition, and Amazon Lex to add artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to their applications.

Modern DevOps

Software and the Internet have transformed the world and its industries, from shopping to entertainment to banking. Software no longer merely supports a business; rather it becomes an integral component of every part of a business

A business can use modern DevOps to improve its software development and delivery process, by adopting a culture of collaboration, automation, integration, and continuous improvement. The following are some of the benefits your business can derive from a modern DevOps implementation...

Speed
Speed

Move at high velocity so you can innovate for customers faster, adapt to changing markets better, and grow more efficient at driving business results. The DevOps model enables your developers and operations teams to achieve these results. For example, microservices and continuous delivery let teams take ownership of services and then release updates to them quicker.

Rapid Delivery
Rapid Delivery

Increase the frequency and pace of releases so you can innovate and improve your product faster. The quicker you can release new features and fix bugs, the faster you can respond to your customers’ needs and build competitive advantage. Continuous integration and continuous delivery are practices that automate the software release process, from build to deploy.

Reliability
Reliability

Ensure the quality of application updates and infrastructure changes so you can reliably deliver at a more rapid pace while maintaining a positive experience for end users. Use practices like continuous integration and continuous delivery to test that each change is functional and safe. Monitoring and logging practices help you stay informed of performance in real-time.

Scale
Scale

Operate and manage your infrastructure and development processes at scale. Automation and consistency help you manage complex or changing systems efficiently and with reduced risk. For example, infrastructure as code helps you manage your development, testing, and production environments in a repeatable and more efficient manner.

Collaboration
Improved Collaboration

Build more effective teams under a DevOps cultural model, which emphasizes values such as ownership and accountability. Developers and operations teams collaborate closely, share many responsibilities, and combine their workflows. This reduces inefficiencies and saves time (e.g., reduced handover periods between developers and operations, writing code that considers the environment in which it is run).

Security
Security

Move quickly while retaining control and preserving compliance. You can adopt a DevOps model without sacrificing security by using automated compliance policies, fine-grained controls, and configuration management techniques. For example, using infrastructure as code and policy as code, you can define and then track compliance at scale.

Open Source

Open-source software gives a business more control and choice over its software, as it can customize, modify, and integrate it according to its specific needs and preferences while avoiding vendor lock-in. It can also foster your organization’s innovation culture by allowing you to access the latest technology trends and enables you to tap into the collective creativity and expertise of the open-source community.

Unlock inovation
Unlock Innovation

Decomposing monoliths to microservices brings freedom to adapt and experiment quickly. AWS has the broadest set of container technologies (Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, AWS Fargate), the most mature serverless offering (AWS Lambda), deeply integrated .NET support, DevOps utilities to automate your development cycle, a range of open-source integrations, as well as purpose-built databases such as Amazon Aurora to power your modern architectures.

Performamce
Improve Price/Performance Ratio

AWS leads innovation in compute processing with Graviton2 instances that are 20% less expensive per hour than Intel x86 instances with up to 40% better performance. Amazon Aurora also brings 5x the throughput of standard MySQL and 3x the throughput of standard PostgreSQL. This performance is on par with commercial databases, at 1/10th the cost.

Costs
Lower Costs

When you move to open source, you no longer pay for expensive Windows and/or SQL Server licensing. Services such as Amazon Aurora provide the same functionality as commercial databases at 1/10th the cost and moving to DevOps with containers and serverless allows you to reduce TCO and maximize compute consumption.

Harder Security
Harden Security

AWS offers 210 security, compliance, and governance services and key features. With AWS, you control where your data is stored, who can access it, and what resources your organization is consuming at any given moment. AWS regularly achieves third-party validation for thousands of global compliance requirements that we continually monitor to help you meet security and compliance standards for finance, retail, healthcare, government, and beyond.
