AWS consultant

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most widely used cloud platform with over 200 fully managed services covering compute, storage, databases, AI/ML, networking and security. AWS is used by everything from startups to global enterprise organisations.

• Compute: EC2, Lambda (serverless), ECS and EKS for container-based workloads.
• Storage: S3, EBS and Glacier for scalable and cost-effective data storage.
• Databases: RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora and Redshift for relational and NoSQL databases.
• AI and ML: SageMaker, Rekognition and Bedrock for machine learning and generative AI.
• Security: IAM, KMS, Shield and GuardDuty for access management and threat protection.

An AWS consultant helps organisations design, migrate to and optimise cloud infrastructure on AWS — from initial architecture to ongoing operations and cost optimisation.

• Cloud architecture: Design of scalable, secure and cost-effective AWS solutions.
• Migration: Lift-and-shift, re-platforming and re-architecting from on-premises to AWS.
• DevOps and IaC: Setting up CI/CD pipelines with CodePipeline, Terraform and CloudFormation.
• Security and compliance: IAM policies, VPC design and compliance with GDPR and ISO 27001.
• Cost optimisation: Reserved Instances, Spot Instances and Right-Sizing.

An AWS consultant is valuable for new cloud projects, but can also contribute significantly to the optimisation and governance of existing AWS environments.

• Migration of on-premises systems to AWS
• Design and implementation of cloud-native applications
• Cost reduction and optimisation of existing AWS spending
• Security review and compliance certification
