AWS Cloud Consulting Brisbane

Dependable Australian infrastructure with the visibility to operate it well.

AWS is the world leader in Cloud Computing Services, providing computing capabilities, database storage, content distribution, email deliverability services and much more. AWS provides a variety of services to use when develop complex web applications that require flexibility, scalability, and dependability. We use AWS for all of our clients who need enterprise-ready, scalable and reliable web hosting. AWS has been the choice for all websites we've worked on for Culture Kings, Wotif, Impact Office Supplies, All 4 Adventure, AMA Group and more.

Platform fit

Is this the right platform?

The platform should follow the requirements. These are the conditions we test before recommending AWS.

A good fit when

AWS fits business-critical systems that need dependable infrastructure, clear monitoring, managed backups and room to scale with the application.

Consider another option when

It is not the default recommendation for every website, and this service is focused on the infrastructure around web platforms rather than broad enterprise cloud transformation.
Capabilities

What we build with AWS

A snapshot of the AWS work our senior team takes on, from the first technical decision through ongoing ownership.

Scalable and high-performance

Using AWS tools, Auto Scaling, and Elastic Load Balancing, your application can scale up or down based on demand. Backed by Amazon’s massive infrastructure, you have access to compute and storage resources when you need them.

Cost-Effective

You pay only for the compute power, storage, and other resources you use, with no long-term contracts or up-front commitments. For more information on comparing the costs of other hosting alternatives with AWS, see the AWS Economics Center.

Reliable

With AWS, you take advantage of a scalable, reliable, and secure global computing infrastructure, the virtual backbone of Amazon.com’s multi-billion dollar online business that has been honed for over a decade.

Secure

AWS utilises an end-to-end approach to secure and harden our infrastructure, including physical, operational, and software measures. For more information, see the AWS Security Center.

Industry Leaders

You're in the best hands possible. AWS is easily the biggest web host on the internet with customers such as BMW Group, Coca Cola, Netflix, Pinterest, Salesforce, NASA, Toyota, Blackboard, Pearson, Oxford, Experian, Goldman Sachs, and many (many) more. We have directly used AWS in our biggest client sites and we have no troubles putting our name to them.

Compliant

Inherit the most comprehensive compliance controls with AWS. AWS supports 143 security standards and compliance certifications, including PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, GDPR, FIPS 140-2, and NIST 800-171, helping customers satisfy compliance requirements around the globe.

Straight advice

Requirements choose the platform.

We recommend AWS when its strengths match the job, and a simpler or different option when they do not.

Start with constraints

Content, workflows, integrations, governance and ownership matter more than a feature checklist.

Avoid custom work without a reason

Configuration is preferable when it genuinely meets the requirement and remains maintainable.

Plan for operational ownership

The choice must still make sense for the team maintaining it after launch.

Our senior-team model

Senior people stay responsible for the platform decisions.

Architecture and implementation stay close together, with the same team retaining context for ongoing improvement.
  • Direct access to senior people
  • Design and development working closely together
  • Technical advice without a communications relay
  • No junior production line or offshore hand-off
  • Project knowledge that stays with the team after launch
“Jonathan Bird is one of the best I have worked with in this space. He is responsive, clever and contributes to the brief, and most importantly, he is a great person to work with. It can be hard to find the right people who can take on something and lift it to another dimension. Jonathan does that and more.”

FAQ

Common AWS Project Questions

Common questions our team is asked about AWS Cloud Management.
AWS Operates in 32 Regions each with 102 Availability Zones (AZs), and 450+ Points of Presence, 400+ Edge Locations, and 13 Regional Edge Caches. Wherever you are on the globe, AWS's Cloud Infrastructure ensures ultralow latency for your users. You have the choice of whether you want your website hosted in a country of your choice (for example, Australian-only for sensitive information), or to use the entire AWS network to ensure fast global delivery of your content - the choice is yours.
AWS is Amazon's cloud computing platform, offering services like virtual servers, storage, databases, networking, analytics, security, and more. It allows users to build, deploy, and manage applications in the cloud, enabling scalability and innovation.
AWS employs dynamic scalability and resource allocation to handle increased traffic effectively. Through services like Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, the platform automatically adjusts the number of instances based on demand, ensuring optimal performance without manual intervention. Additionally, AWS Elastic Load Balancing evenly distributes incoming traffic across instances, enhancing availability and fault tolerance. Services like Amazon CloudFront manage content delivery through a global network of edge locations, minimizing latency. This elastic architecture allows applications to seamlessly handle varying traffic loads while maintaining responsiveness and reliability.
AWS employs a robust set of security measures to safeguard data and applications. This includes encryption mechanisms like AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for data encryption at rest and in transit. Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls grant specific permissions to users and resources, reducing potential vulnerabilities. AWS offers Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) for network isolation and fine-grained control over network traffic. Additionally, services like AWS WAF provide protection against web application attacks. AWS Trusted Advisor offers recommendations to improve security configurations. Regular audits, compliance certifications, and security best practices ensure a secure foundation. Overall, AWS provides a comprehensive framework to mitigate risks and protect sensitive data and applications.
