AWS

Amazon's cloud platform, the broadest range of services. Amazon Web Services is the largest public cloud provider, offering compute, storage, databases, networking, containers and managed AI services in regions worldwide, including Ireland. Core building blocks include EC2, S3, RDS, EKS, ECS, Lambda and Amazon Bedrock for hosted models. It is managed through the console, APIs and infrastructure-as-code tools.

When it is the right choice

  • You want the widest choice of managed services and regions, including eu-west-1 in Dublin
  • You need hosted models such as Claude and Llama through Bedrock inside your AWS account
  • Your team or customers already standardise on AWS
  • Not automatically the cheapest: without tagging, budgets and right-sizing, costs grow quickly

How we use it

  • Build accounts, networks and services with Terraform, reviewed and applied through CI/CD
  • Set up a multi-account landing zone with IAM, logging and guardrails
  • Monitor with CloudWatch, Prometheus and Grafana, with alerts that point to runbooks
  • Review cost and usage regularly and right-size, schedule or reserve capacity

Questions

AWS: frequently asked

Can we keep our data in Ireland on AWS?

Yes. The eu-west-1 region is in Ireland, and you choose the region for each service. Some global services and support processes may operate elsewhere, so we check those for your compliance needs.

How do we stop AWS costs growing unexpectedly?

Tag every resource, set budgets and alerts, and review usage on a schedule. Most savings come from removing idle resources and right-sizing.
