Step 4: Identify the Most Cost-Effective Option

Variable

load Seasonality

Traditional on-premise provisioning

• Have you accounted for all your costs?

• Are your loads steady-state?

• Will usage of steady-state loads change in the future?

Seasonality? Growth?

• How much do you need to overprovision on-premise

infrastructure to cover spikes?

• What is the value of agility and flexibility?

• What is affinity for CapEx vs OpEx?

• New (and existing) capabilities from AWS can help

• CloudHSM

• S3 encryption in-flight and at-rest

• EBS encryption-flight and at-rest

• IAM granular permissions

• Third party tools from AWS partners can help

• Key Management

• Data Encryption

• Monitoring/Alerting

Security and Compliance: Not Just for Private
