Workload &
business constraints.
A modest application does not always need a complex platform. We choose the least complicated arrangement that supports the required availability, vendor constraints and expected traffic.
When this service fits
- A website is outgrowing shared hosting
- A vendor application needs a managed cloud environment
- A portal needs separate test and production deployments
Delivery plan.
Choose a practical pattern
Review runtime, database, traffic and licence requirements.
Build repeatable environments

Hand over operating controls
Demonstrate health checks, backups and a tested deployment rollback.
AWS components we consider.
The final selection follows the workload, compatibility and regional requirements. These components are a starting point for design.
Amazon EC2 or Amazon ECS
Select a compatible compute pattern.
Amazon RDS

What we need from you
