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:
- Netflix - One of the earliest (and most demanding) users of AWS, Netflix eventually made the decision to go “all-in” on AWS and closed their last data centers in 2015.
- Pinterest - The popular image bookmarking site uses AWS to handle huge amounts of daily traffic and data.
- The Financial Times - This respected business news publisher uses Amazon Redshift for data warehousing.
- IMDb - The popular database site for information about everything movie and TV-related uses Amazon Cloudfront as a content delivery network (CDN) to give users powerful, fast search experience.
How much do AWS consulting services cost?
The cost of AWS consulting services depends greatly on the specialists’ level of expertise.
In other words, the more certifications an Amazon Web Service consultant has, the higher the cost.
Amazon offers four role-based certifications in specific disciplines including: cloud practitioner, architect, developer, and operations.
Each role offers increasing levels of expertise, beginning with foundational, moving to associate and professional.
There are also a handful of specialty certifications that are add-ons to the role-based certifications. Specialty certifications include big data and advanced networking.
So, the hourly rates vary depending on the AWS consultants’ certifications and skills.
An entry-level AWS consultant charges between $35 and $50 per hour. Experienced consultants have an hourly rate between $125 and $200.
Proficient AWS consultants with specialized certifications can charge up to $250 per hour.
The costs listed are for US-based specialists. Naturally, the pricing structure varies according to the location.
In Europe, experts charge below $50 per hour or even less for their AWS consulting services.
An AWS consulting company can provide you with different consultants specialized in multiple areas of AWS to serve your particular cloud needs.
Therefore, companies in the USA take projects valued between $10,000 and $25,000, with the more high-end ones charging up to $50,000.
Why hire an AWS consulting partner?
