One of my large consulting clients uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host their popular digital media properties. AWS is the next generation of website hosting, providing advanced services to website owners, such as quickly scaling the number of used servers up or down to meet website traffic demands. Many websites, including my own, have had serious problems scaling as traffic grows. AWS helps solve this and a variety of other issues. However, as I have tried to use AWS for one of my own projects, I found that AWS was too complex, and presented too much of a learning curve for the average web hosting consumer.
However, this week Amazon released a new web-based console for AWS, allowing this service to be run by people like me with a point-and-click AJAX interface.
Read more about it on the AWS blog post.
If you’re building a small-volume website, AWS is overkill, but if you are trying to build a large website, AWS allows you to run on a next-generation hosting platform, developed by Amazon.com and avoid a lot of the headaches that digital media enterepreneurs have had to endure in the past.
Have you used AWS or another next-generation hosting solution, and if so, what has been your experience?
