Web Application Hosting in the AWS Cloud

Traditional on-premises web architectures require complex solutions and accurate reserved capacity forecast in order to ensure reliability. Dense peak traffic periods and wild swings in traffic patterns result in low utilization rates of expensive hardware. This yields high operating costs to maintain idle hardware, and an inefficient use of capital for underused hardware.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a reliable, scalable, secure, and highly performing infrastructure for the most demanding web applications. This infrastructure matches IT costs with customer traffic patterns in near-real time.

This whitepaper is meant for IT Managers and System Architects who want to understand how to run traditional web architectures in the cloud to achieve elasticity, scalability, and reliability.
