Review and analysis Managed Application Support Services for AWS

Using a template-based service makes deployments simpler, more orderly, and predictable instead of deploying each element of an application (e.g. security groups, instances, database servers, and load balancers) separately and by hand. Whether you are provisioning, updating or deprovisioning infrastructure, or deploying your application to other locations, templates make the process simpler and more predictable. If you have an application requiring search capability, being able to easily add a managed search service, without deploying and managing additional infrastructure, can free up your time to focus on your application.

Amazon CloudSearch is a fully managed search service in the cloud that allows easy integration of search functionality into applications. Learn More »

Using a DevOps based solution for managing application lifecycle means that you can focus on the functionality of your application. You can let the service focus on resource provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, software updates, monitoring, and access control rather than deploying infrastructure manually, and then performing configurations for multiple tiers of your application by hand or by deploying your own management infrastructure.

Tools for Code Management and Deployment. The following AWS tools are designed to help individual developers, teams of developers, and system administrators store, integrate, and deploy their code on the cloud. In cloud, resources can be created, attached, configured, used, detached, and destroyed in a matter of minutes. With all of this change happening, organizations of all sizes face some new challenges when it comes to asset tracking, inventory management, change management, and governance.
