Why Choose AWS for DevOps?
Get Started
Fast
Each AWS service is ready to use if you have an AWS account. There is no setup required or software to install.
Built for
Scale
Provision one or thousands of server instances and scale capacity up or down within minutes automatically. Easily configure these resources at scale to meet changing workload demands.
Programmable
You have the option to use AWS via the AWS Command Line Interface or through APIs and SDKs. You can also model and provision AWS resources and your entire AWS infrastructure using declarative AWS CloudFormation templates.
Automation
AWS helps you use automation so you can build faster and more efficiently. Using AWS services, you can automate manual tasks or processes such as deployments, development & test workflows, container management, and configuration management.
Secure
Use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to set user permissions and policies. This gives you granular control over who can access your resources and how they access those resources.
Large Partner Ecosystem
AWS supports a large ecosystem of partners that integrates and extends AWS services. Use your preferred third-party and open source tools with AWS to build an end-to-end solution.
DevOps
DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices,and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enables organizations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market.

Continuous
Delivery
The AWS Code Services (AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeDeploy, ) build, test, and deploy your application to AWS or your on-premises environment. Use AWS CodePipeline to build a CI/CD workflow that uses AWS servicse and third-party development tools.
Microservices
Build and deploy a microservices architecture using containers or serverless compute. Launch a Docker platform for production environments using Amazon EC2 Container Service or run code without provisioning or managing servers using AWS Lambda.
Infrastructure
as Code
Provision, configure, and manage your AWS infrastructure resources using code and templates. AWS CloudFormation lets you provision and update AWS resources with templates. AWS OpsWorks is a configuration management service that uses Chef. Use AWS Config for an inventory of your AWS resources and to monitor their configuration.
Monitoring
and Logging
Record logs and monitor application and infrastructure performance in near real-time using services like Amazon CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail. Analyze and debug distributed applications using AWS X-Ray.
Platform as
a Service
Deploy web applications without needing to provision and manage the infrastructure and application stack using AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Use Elastic Beanstalk to quickly deploy web apps developed with Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker.
Version
Control
Host secure, highly scalable Git repositories in the cloud with AWS CodeCommit.
