8 Most-Effective & Useful Services by AWS for Startups

8 Most-Effective & Useful Services by AWS for Startups

One of the most comprehensive and widely adopted cloud platforms, Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers over 200 services to businesses across the globe. If you have a startup and you’re planning to use cloud services, deciding which services would be the best for your business can get quite overwhelming.

To help you in your decision-making process, we’ve compiled a list of the 8 most effective and useful AWS services for startups.

1. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud 2 (EC2)

Amazon EC2, or Elastic Compute Cloud 2, is a startup-essential service that allows you to get virtual computers on rent for running your computer applications. It is a foundational service by Amazon on which many of the AWS services are operated. Amazon EC2 allows you to create virtual machines as well as other server management services, such as port, storage, and security. If you plan on scaling up or down, the interface is pretty straightforward and allows you to do so as per your needs.

2. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)

Another useful AWS cloud service for startups is Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). It is a cloud object storage suitable for startups and offers scalability, high security, top-notch performance, and data availability. With Amazon S3’s triple-redundant storage, your startup’s data is held safely in 3 different and secure physical locations. Moreover, its FedRAMP and HITECH/HIPAA integrations keep your data and information from being compromised. Despite the presence of these critical integrations and high-security measures, there is no compromise when it comes to speed.

3. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPS)

If you’re looking for an AWS cloud computing service that gives you access to a virtual private cloud, you must explore Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Amazon VPC’s commercial cloud computing service provisions /logically isolated parts of the AWS cloud.

4. Amazon CloudFront

CloudFront by Amazon is a content delivery network (CDN). The CDN is operated by Amazon Web Services and provides a worldwide-distributed network of proxy servers that cache bulky media, like web videos. Amazon CloudFront helps boost your website/app’s speed by effectively managing your content. The AWS service offers secure and fast API, app, and data delivery so that static website files can be displayed to users from data centers across the world. CloudFront is beneficial for startups because it is offered on a “pay-as-you-go” model and no upfront fee is charged.

5. AWS Lambda

Lambda by AWS is another useful tool for startups that is responsible for running code in response to events. It is an efficient computing service that manages computing resources needed by any code automatically. This serverless, event-driven computing software is also available as a pay-as-you-go service, meaning you only pay for the computing time you use. If your startup is overwhelmingly loaded with requests that your current infrastructure isn’t able to handle, Lambda will help take care of those requests.

6. Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS)

A great way to remind your userbase of using your services is through notifications and emails. It is especially helpful if you have a startup and you have an app that your customer base can use. Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is an easy-to-use service for sending notifications to your customers. SNS suppers text messaging across 200 countries, email notifications, and mobile push notifications to Android, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Baidu devices.

SNS aims at making communicating with your customers easier by providing many-to-many endpoint-messaging-as-a-service. Moreover, it enables your startup to send SQS and HTML notifications on any platform, be it Android, iOS, or web. SNS can be integrated with any app that’s operating on NodeJS, PHP, etc.

7. AWS Fargate

Fargate by Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the most useful and best AWS services for startups. Fargate, a serverless technology, allows you to run and operate containerized applications that do not require you to manage any servers. Using this AWS technology will eliminate the need for you to choose server types, optimize cluster packing, or make decisions on when to scale clusters. It is a pay-as-you-go service that enables you to focus on building groundbreaking applications without having to worry about servers.

8. Amazon Elasticache

With people’s attention span and patience with load time going down, optimizing your website/app speed is crucial. AWS Elasticache is Amazon’s free data caching service that, instead of depending on slower disk-based databases, enhances web app performance by retrieving data from the managed in-memory cache.

Using AWS Elasticache reduce latency significantly for web apps with heavy-to-read workloads. This AWS service is especially popular in startups that are focused on developing Gaming, Healthcare, IoT, and Advertising Technology applications.

There are many other services by Amazon Web Services that startups leverage to level up. If you plan on integrating AWS into your business operations, GoDgtl offers top-notch AWS managed services. We are an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner and can help you figure out your cloud requirements.

5 Emerging Managed Service Trends That Will Rule in 2022

5 Emerging Managed Service Trends That Will Rule in 2022 GoDgtl BLog

Managed Services Providers (MSPs) worldwide can expect multidimensional changes in the industry as they navigate industry-specific requirements, experience market consolidation, and adopt futuristic technologies in 2022.

A report by Gartner forecasted that IT spending across the globe will surpass $4 trillion in 2022 [1]. Moreover, a Spiceworks Ziff Davis (SWZD) ‘2022 State of IT’ report that surveyed over 1,000 businesses across multiple countries found that over 50% of the IT buyers plan on increasing their IT budgets by 26% (on average) [2]. And while about 30% of the total IT spendings would go towards hardware, over 26% would go towards cloud services.

With the increase in spendings in the overall IT and cloud services industry, an increase in spendings in the Managed Services Provider (MSP) industry is also expected. The global (MSP) market size is predicted to reach US$ 354.8 billion by the year 2026 from US$ 242.9 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period 2021-2026 [3].

Here are the top 5 Managed Services Trends that are expected to thrive in 2022.

1. The Internet of Things and Blockchain

With the increasing number of devices, equipment, and machinery being used by industries increasing rapidly, the need for real-time management and control of devices has also increased. According to Statista, approximately 35.82 billion Internet of Things devices are already installed across the globe, and there’ll be 75.44 billion by the year 2025 [4].

Though this number is all-inclusive, the increase in the number of devices will also largely be in businesses and manufacturing units. This will ultimately lead to more investment in technology and subsequent employee training.

Companies will have to invest resources in creating rigorous hiring processes to fill vacancies with candidates who can operate these connected devices and managed service providers will leverage this market gap. MSPs around the world have expanded their umbrella of services into automation and blockchain. They’re training companies to adopt and execute market-related blockchain technologies. MSPs have also contributed to the massive adoption IoTs in businesses across the world and will continue to do the same in 2022.

2. Cloud Computing and Automation

Most IT buyers in organizations have realized that customer engagement and experience heavily rely on a skilled workforce that’s well trained. As training employees consumes time and money, businesses have started resorting to cloud-managed services. Cloud MSPs have the right tools, experience, and skillset that fits industry requirements.

Many cloud-managed service providers offer flexible pricing and subscription plans that are affordable as well as scalable. In 2022, to leverage the power of cloud computing solutions, more businesses will embrace managed service providers for assistance.

3. Infrastructure-as-a-Service

Groundbreaking innovation and technologies have streamlined and aligned strategic business operations, and a noteworthy shift is happening towards result-oriented operations. Though most organizations are willing to integrate these technologies in their business, the skill gap that’s been acting as a big hindrance. Cost is another issue, in addition to the software being complicated to operate.

Here’s where ‘Infrastructure-as-a-Service’ comes into play. Cloud-managed service providers offer software platforms subscriptions, which enable businesses to use their services to outsource industry-specific business components, like servers, networks, software units, or storage.

4. The Consolidation of MSPs

Managed-service provider platforms, in which smaller service providers can be merged, gained a lot of investment and funding in 2021. This consolidation (or merging) of cloud consultancies and MSPs is expected to continue in 2022. Moreover, as MSP platforms acquire smaller cloud services providers, they will continue to expand their geographic reach in the next year as well. By doing this, MSPs will be able to provide services on a global as well as local level.

5. Partnering models

In 2022, how managed services providers partner with vendors and customers will evolve. Partnering models and approaches, like generative partnering and co-innovation, will gain momentum.

In the co-innovation partner model, MSPs will be able to work with technology vendors to create a service or offering for customers. This co-creation could be made for a specific industry or niche and built on a public cloud provider’s platform. In generative partnering, a customer collaborates with an MSP partner to build a service or offering to co-sell and share a revenue stream.

Organizations prefer partnering with managed service providers, like GoDgtl, that are on top of these trends and ahead of the curve. If you want to partner with a disruptive MSP that’s future-ready, feel free to reach out to us.

6 Disruptive Cloud Computing Trends in 2022

6 Disruptive Cloud Computing Trends to Watch Out For in 2022_ cloud migration service providers

During the Covid-19 pandemic, a cloud computing explosion was seen when work was forced to go virtual, and companies had no choice but to embrace cloud technologies. In 2022, continued rapid adoption of cloud computing technologies is likely.

According to research by International Data Corporation (IDC), total worldwide spending on “whole cloud” (the hardware and software underpinning the cloud technology supply chain, and the cloud managed services) – will cross $1.3 trillion by the year 2025 at a CAGR of 16.9%[1].

Here are 6 of the most disruptive cloud computing trends that are expected to rule in 2022.

1. Hybrid cloud environments

Tech giants of the world, like Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM, are focusing more on the rollout of their hybrid cloud models. The hybrid model will give the best-of-both (public and private clouds) world to businesses. Hybrid cloud computing services are, in no way, about compromising between the private and public cloud. Hybrid is more about combining the advantages of the two.

A BCC Research report found that the global hybrid technologies market is expected to reach $98.8 billion by the year 2022, at a CAGR of 20.1% for the period of 2017-2022 [2].

On one hand, the information that needs to be comparatively more accessible than others can be stored on the public cloud (like Azure or AWS) and accessed via apps and tools. On the other hand, the critical, confidential and more sensitive data can be stored on private cloud servers to which the access is limited and can be closely monitored.

In 2022, as we financially recover from the pandemic, more organizations will realize the power of hybrid cloud models and start will embracing hybrid technologies.

2. Serverless cloud

This is a relatively new cloud computing trend that is expected to gain traction in 2022. Also referred to as ‘functions-as-a-service’ (FAAS), the serverless cloud would mean that companies wouldn’t have to lease servers or pay for a certain fixed amount of cloud storage.

Serverless clouds would be available as a ‘pay-as-you-go’ service where you won’t have to switch between plans and the infrastructure would scale as and when the app required it.

‘Serverless’ doesn’t literally mean ‘no server’. It translates to an added layer abstraction between the platform and users. This one is one of the most exciting cloud computing trends that we want to see unfold in 2022. Serverless will play a significant role not just in cloud computing, but in the broader technology landscape of enhancing user experiences.

3. The Internet of Things & Edge Computing

In an attempt to bring data and data processing closer to the end-users, data storage and processing is becoming decentralized via edge computing. Cloud service providers are responding to the growing adoption of IoT devices with edge computing. It doesn’t just bring down bandwidth usage and its cost but also reduces latency considerably.

According to Statista, the global edge computing industry is expected to experience an increase in market size from US$ 1.93 billion in 2018 to US$ 10.96 billion by 2026 [3]. Centralized cloud servers and platforms consume a lot of processing, computational and bandwidth resources. Edge computers are localized data centers built for storage and processing at the point where they’re needed.

4. Multi-cloud environments

A multi-cloud environment is when 2 public clouds are being operated by an organization in tandem. Meaning, organizations can use 2 or more cloud solutions by different cloud solution providers. Using multi-cloud solutions helps companies in enhancing data redundancy and business expansion. A study by Accenture found that 93% of all companies are going for a multi-cloud strategy and an increase in multi-cloud adoption is expected in 2022 [4].

5. Artificial Intelligence in cloud computing

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing will together leave a huge mark on the world. The evolution and advancement of the two technologies are interconnected and this will become clearer in 2022 (and beyond). Cloud computing technologies and services are making AI more accessible to businesses around the world that once would have not been able to afford these technologies.

With the help of the cloud, companies can now integrate Artificial Intelligence into their day-to-day business operations. Disruptive AI technologies like machine learning, big data, and knowledge graphs are features and functionalities that are AI-enabled.

6. Containerization

Open-source systems for container orchestration, like Kubernetes by Google, provide users with the rise of containerized apps, which will continue to emerge in 2022 at an enterprise level. These “containers” bring the advantages of virtual machines, merging the forces of a self-contained operating system to offer a seamless performance across multiple machines.

In cloud settings, container portability allows performance consistency across the entire organization and resource usage distribution. With containerization, the user also has increased access to tracking the difference between containers and rolling back as and when needed.

They must be creative with their IT transformation strategy in formulating agile business processes such as customer resource management (CRM) systems, storage systems, complex process automation, and for yielding social media and mobile technologies. Companies have this at their core that this practice will help them to adapt to rapidly changing customer demands and business environments faster than the traditional deployments will do.

Let’s see the steps to strategize cloud adoption:

Step one: Assess

You should assess the cloud deployment hurdles, opportunities, threats, and success rates data present in the market to easily realize the business proposition, IT feasibility, and USP factors for your organization to deploy your applications in cloud.

An assessment should include testing and reporting the success stories, risks, and roadblocks involved in cloud adoption. Next, you should scrutinize cloud vendors for partnerships to help you on your digital transformation journey.

This step will give you the right guidance for understanding the pros and cons and is vital for an efficient cloud migration.

Step two: Plan

Businesses must formulate a tailor-made cloud strategy. You Should plan to yield an old setup with software as a service (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and platform as a service (PaaS) formulation, as well as test suitable deployment models and more to set up a suitable road map and cloud process.

Step three: Adopt

The planning and adoption phases are closely stitched together as they have multiple steps that are intertwined. While testing the collateral during formulation, it is important to assess available cloud computing and adoption strategies (NIST Guidelines, OpenStack adaptability, and portability standards, as well as methodologies for migrating applications).

Step four: Optimize

Optimizing your company’s processes and software licenses will help you understand the advantages of state-of-the-art efficiency for increased value to the company and the customer.

  • Carry on “lessons learned sessions” after each cloud deployment session and filter your processes further.
  • Come up with required skill road maps and assemble skilled resources ahead of a deployment

So, in summary, assess the value of cloud for your business; strategize a simple deployment plan first, and slowly migrate to planning for ERPs, adapt to learning and strategic options, and lastly, filter out your assessments, deployment methods, and processes, and continuously refine your strategy.

How To Optimize AWS Costs for Your Business

Optimize cost for startup AWS

AWS cost optimization is a service that works on the configuration of your AWS resources. It makes reports on whether your resources are in optimum condition and produces recommendations to cut down the cost and improve the performance of your data system.

1. Optimizing EC2 Instances

Let’s begin with these three AWS cost regularization best practices. The purpose of rightsizing is to go together with instance sizes to their workloads.

If you double the capacity when you go up one size, you also reduce the capacity in half when you go down one size. Therefore, rightsizing is only an optimum when best practice is applied there. It’s worth analyzing utilization parameters to find out strengths to move the system to different families (other than “General Purpose”) that better suit their needs.

2. Working in patterns

It’s worth putting some time aside for non-production work such as those used for developing, staging, testing, and QA. With these practices, you will save around 65% of running these instances if you apply an “on” schedule of 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. Monday to Friday. However, more can be saved too, especially if development teams work in irregular patterns or at irregular hours.

You can apply more aggressive schedules by noticing the utilization metrics to know when the instances are more usually used, or always use “stopped schedule” which can be interrupted when access to the instances is needed. Pointing out that while instances are scheduled to be off is worth the time investment as you’re still being charged for EBS volumes and other contents attached to them.

3. Opting for Reserved Instances and Savings Plans

Choosing Reserved Instances is an easy way for AWS cost optimization. Purchasing Reserved Instances is one of the best practices for AWS cost optimization as we’re going to suggest the effective ways of maintaining a Reserved Instances as an AWS cost optimization best practice—consisting of counting all the variables before making a purchase and then reporting on utilization throughout the reservation’s lifecycle.

4. Delete unattached EBS volumes

Going back to Elastic Block Storage (EBS), when you launch an EC2 instance, an EBS volume is connected to the instance to act as its local block storage. When you move/delete the EC2 instance, the EBS volume is only deleted if you check with the “delete on termination” box when the instance was running. If the box wasn’t checked, the EBS volume is still in the system and restraining AWS cost optimization. These are ways in which AWS managed services can help you.

5. Delete old or obsolete snapshots

Snapshots are an easier way to back up information on an EBS volume to an S3 storage bucket as they only back up information that’s altered since the last snapshot to stop duplicate data in the S3 bucket. Resultantly, each snapshot contains all the data required to restore your data (from the moment when the snapshot was taken) to a new EBS volume.

DevOps and Cloud Consulting can grow your business

  • Post author By GoDgtl
  • Post date

Starting a business is exciting, but it can get difficult in little time if you do not have the right tools in hand. You know your idea is worth spreading, but how do you promote that idea?

Here, the role of AWS and DevOps plays an important part. These are two of the most powerful tools that can give your business the acceleration that it needs, especially in the initial stages. The major problems AWS and DevOps can help address include:

Data Security

Data is the basis of the business revenue model. AWS helps you make data security your strength. AWS consulting services tackle data security issues in the following ways:

AWS cloud consulting services estimate the risk of your software and accordingly design a secure workflow. Other than risk calculation, there are strong security policies that are strictly adhered to including:

  • Allowing minimum access permission (using AWS IAM, Security Groups, VPC)
  • Encrypting systems that contain Personal Identifiable Items (PII) at Rest (Using AWS KMS)
  • Regular checks and reporting of the account security using AWS Configuration
  • Intelligent threat detection and regular checks of all events using AWS via compliance management.

Welcomes Innovation

DevOps consulting helps businesses to allow more time and space for innovating. After implementing DevOps, your business will streamline the system flowchart and get better efficiency. This creates more scope for brainstorming and innovative ideas during business hours. The best businesses in the world utilize time for their people to innovate, create new services, products, or strategies, or try out different routes of getting better results. Business benefits since DevOps implementation leave you more time for innovation and problem solving that will make your business grow further in the future.

Better Customer Experience Capabilities

When your business works on proprietary solutions faster, it adapts to serve business customers. That means that DevOps can provide better customer service. In a recent research paper, based on the benefits of DevOps for business, over 70% of companies reported customer experience got better after installing a DevOps program. This is one of the biggest business benefits that you can easily unlock with DevOps.

Create mobile applications

Once your business’ online presence is up and running, let AWS take care of the mobility of your business. Configure specific features for your apps with making user authentication, push notifications, content delivery, analytics, data storage, and backend logic. Post creating your app, an AWS devops consultant evaluates your apps on real devices so you can understand and work more on app performance.

These are basic tips that will help you optimize AWS cost management, as well as AWS-managed services. To learn more about cost optimization and management, visit here.

Here’s why your startup needs cloud-first strategies

Cloud-first plans mean operational strategies where a business/company transfers all or most of its data/information to cloud computing platforms like AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure. A well-defined cloud plan should help in leading the company in transiting to the cloud.

Why do startups need cloud-first strategies?

  • Scalability
    For a startup, growth is always exponential. With the help of a cloud-first strategy, one can scale the growth with limited human commitment. For example, if the business website traffic suddenly rises, its servers will have to quickly upgrade. Autoscaling is one of the most advertised plus points of the cloud.
  • Reliability
    Companies often experience service outages. With the help of a cloud computing strategy, DevOps consulting, and AWS consulting services, companies can transfer the onus to the cloud computing provider. They are responsible to maintain hardware and make sure that the power supply is uninterrupted. Thereby, startups can be stress-free.
  • Cost
    All new companies look for cost-effective plans to save and optimize cloud space. Though a cloud computing business plan might appear to be on the higher note financially at the initial stages, if you add all the costs of renting an offline space plus additional costs thereof, cloud computing strategy seems to be a more efficient alternative.
  • Configurability
    This is one of the reasons why startups should consider a cloud-first strategy. We all understand the struggle of getting a new server. Buying a digital database often comes with its own hurdles. With cloud-first strategies, one only requires management’s approval for capital spending, which makes it a seamless process.
  • Observability
    Monitoring is as important as other functions to run a startup. Therefore, you need to know what your application is doing. In the cloud, some tools make our life easy. Instead of trying to plug different applications, the tool combines and logs into a single dashboard. This will give you more insights into your software and keep you up to date.

Though a cloud-first strategy may seem to be time-consuming, the process is critical for the long-term success of a startup. To reap the benefits of the cloud, one should implement cloud-first strategies.
