While AWS is highly secure, performance-oriented, and operates on a pay-as-you-go model, small businesses may encounter challenges due to their unfamiliarity with the platform. In this article, we will discuss these potential issues and provide practical solutions to address them.
Cloud platforms save you from the expense and hassle of setting up and maintaining on-premises infrastructure. They provide a flexible environment that allows you to scale your infrastructure quickly to meet changing demands.
Their pay-as-you-go model ensures that you only pay for the resources you use, eliminating the need for upfront investment in hardware and software. Additionally, cloud platforms offer advanced security measures to protect your data, making them an excellent choice for businesses of all sizes.
