We are looking to deploy our application in a cloud environment that offers scalability, reliability, and a wide range of services to support our development and operational needs.
We will use Amazon Web Services (AWS) as our cloud provider.
- Comprehensive Service Offering: AWS provides a vast array of services allowing us to leverage a single provider for our diverse needs.
- Scalability: AWS's auto-scaling capabilities and load balancing ensure that our application can handle varying levels of traffic seamlessly.
- Global Infrastructure: With numerous data centers worldwide, AWS allows for low-latency access and redundancy, supporting our goal for a global reach.
- Strong Security and Compliance: AWS offers robust security features and compliance certifications, which are critical for protecting sensitive data and meeting regulatory requirements.
- Active Ecosystem and Community: A large community and extensive documentation can help accelerate development and troubleshooting.
- Cost Complexity: The pricing model can be complex and may lead to unexpected costs if not managed carefully.
- Learning Curve: AWS's vast array of services can be overwhelming for new users, requiring time to familiarize ourselves with best practices.
- Vendor Lock-In: Depending heavily on AWS services may create challenges if we decide to migrate to another provider in the future.
