AWS Consultant Hiring Guide

What is an AWS consultant?

An AWS consultant is a professional that has specialized expertise in various areas of cloud computing.

They are certified experts who can build, implement, migrate or manage cloud systems and applications on Amazon Web Services cloud platform.

These are architects, engineers and developers who have undergone extensive training with Amazon and have attained an AWS certification, being able to navigate the vast range of Amazon Web Services suite.

AWS consultants have a broad skill set in different cloud computing fields such as architecture, network design, DevOps, development and more.

They use their expertise within the ample spectrum of AWS services to provide guidance and support to enterprises in order to improve their cloud-related strategies.

AWS consultants have the capabilities to help businesses of all sizes migrate their databases to the AWS cloud and ensure the proper implementation of AWS infrastructures.

They can effectively implement AWS technologies and identify which package of products best suits your business needs.

Therefore, AWS consulting partners come with hands-on experience in designing, deploying and managing cloud architecture systems on AWS that your in-house team doesn’t have access to.

What types of AWS products can AWS consultants help you implement?

Amazon is a powerhouse when it comes to cloud services and cloud hosting, but implementing their products isn’t an easily managed task.

AWS consultants are highly-trained to provide effective implementation for the different types of AWS products the platform has to offer.

Amazon Web Services is a widely adopted and secure cloud platform, offering a broad set of cloud computing services and products that organizations or individuals can use through the AWS platform.

Amazon is the biggest cloud computing company in the world, followed by Microsoft (Azure), IBM and Google. AWS is a subsidiary of Amazon.com and its services bring in a sizable amount of the company’s earnings.

As the leading cloud service provider, AWS controls 33% of a $100 billion cloud market. However, according to Statista, AWS ranked second as the cloud provider of choice for organizations around the world in 2019.

Amazon Web Services provides a huge range of products to its customers. The suit of services and features constantly expands and greatly extends the typical infrastructure services like compute power, database storage or analytics.

Here are some of the product categories offered by AWS that consultants can help you implement:

  • Compute (elastic cloud compute)
  • Storage
  • Database
  • Migration
  • Networking & Content Delivery
  • Developer Tools
  • Management Tools
  • Media Services
  • Machine Learning
  • Security
  • Identity & Compliance
  • Mobile Services
  • AR & VR
  • Application Integration
  • Customer Engagement
  • Business Productivity
  • Desktop & App Streaming
  • Internet of Things
  • Gaming Development
  • AWS Cost Management
  • And More

Scalability is a key attribute of AWS and the company is quick to promote its ability to serve the needs of websites with large audiences, major data and security demands.

A few examples of companies using Amazon Web Services to power their business include:
