Challenges

Set of abilities

AWS is known for its highly configurable, feature-rich cloud platform, but it comes with a steep

learning curve. It can be difficult to get getting up and started quickly if your in-house IT

resource is tiny and possibly new to AWS.

Tech assistance 

Tech assistance  AWS support fees, on the other hand, are based on a sliding scale proportional

to monthly consumption, so if you're a large user, support expenses can soon mount.

Control

External storage of sensitive and private data entails dangers. Despite the success of Amazon's

use cases, shifting sensitive data and business-critical environments to the public cloud can need

authorization and a lot of red tape.

Data security and protection

When creating a cloud system, ensuring data security can be a difficult undertaking. Naturally, as

the use of cloud resources expands, the risk of data breaches increases as well. Data protection is

closely related to security. Many countries impose stringent data protection regulations on

businesses, and standard auditing schemes like ISO-9001 impose further constraints.

Uptime and performance

The bottom line is directly affected by performance and uptime. Customers can abandon a site in

a fraction of a second, resulting in lost sales. And if your site is down for even a few minutes, it

can have a long-term impact on SEO and brand reputation in addition to the straight bottom line.
