AWS is expensive. I don’t want to spend more money on my infrastructure.
AWS may seem expensive at first glance, but it’s vital to look at the overall value and savings it offers in the long run. With AWS’s pay-as-you-go pricing model, you can only pay for what you use, allowing for significant savings.
Surveys show that most businesses that use AWS are over provisioning resources and rightsizing them can cut up to 35% off their bills. AWS provides numerous cost optimization tools and strategies to enhance your budget greatly. Services like AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets can help clients monitor their spending and make informed decisions to reduce it. It is also possible to optimize AWS costs by up to 75% by choosing the right Savings Plan, using Spot and Reserved Instances, applying autoscaling, setting up correct configurations, etc. Regularly reviewing usage can also reduce cloud spending.
With AWS, you can easily adjust your resources based on traffic spikes or changes in business demands without incurring unnecessary costs. This flexibility is particularly beneficial if you have a business with fluctuating workloads.
AWS also enables faster deployment of applications and services, allowing businesses to respond quickly to market changes. This agility can lead to new revenue opportunities and a competitive advantage, which can outweigh initial costs.
Let’s analyze your current infrastructure costs compared to what AWS offers, so we can identify specific areas where you’ll save money and benefit in the long run.
Our team has a big cloud skills gap, so we cannot manage an AWS infrastructure.

Additionally, IT-Magic can handle ongoing support and day-to-day management of your AWS environment, which allows your team to focus on strategic initiatives and gradually develop their AWS skills. Amazon Web Services offers extensive training resources and certification programs for that too.
Let’s work together to outline a strategy that addresses the skills gap while maximizing the benefits of migrating to AWS.

How do you ensure the protection of my project and personal data?
At IT-Magic, we place the highest priority on the protection and security of your projects and sensitive data. We understand that providing a safe environment for your project is paramount, and we have implemented a robust framework of practices, policies, and agreements to keep your information confidential and secure throughout our engagement.
The key components of our approach to ensure project confidentiality and security are non-disclosure agreements (NDA), data protection policies, incident response plans, regular employee training, third-party vendor management, and following best security practices. For example, our team has taken GDPR training to foster a data protection culture and create a more secure and responsible data handling environment.
Our company works with many enterprises that have strict requirements for project security and confidentiality and vendor selection. There have been no issues during our cooperation with them, as well as with many other smaller companies we have worked with.

How to avoid vendor lock-in if I choose AWS?
Vendor lock-in refers to the difficulties and restrictions a business encounters when it becomes dependent on a particular provider’s infrastructure, services, or APIs, which can make transitioning to a different provider a complex process. While it’s a valid concern, there are strategies and practices that we can implement to mitigate it.
AWS offers a wide range of services and tools that support open standards and interoperability, such as Kubernetes which can be easily moved to another hosting. This allows using open-source technologies and the development of portable applications.
We can also create a flexible architecture by strategically selecting some services that are compatible with multiple cloud providers, don’t affect the infrastructure quality, and comply with AWS’s high standards and security recommendations.
