What is AWS Managed Services?

AWS Managed Services is a service where AWS operates AWS infrastructure on behalf of enterprise customers and partners. AWS Managed Services (AMS) operates AWS on the users behalf, providing what the vendor describes as a secure and compliant AWS Landing Zone, a proven enterprise operating model, on-going cost optimization, and day-to-day infrastructure management.

AWS Managed Services is a great solution for large files storage and creating your own processes

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use AWS Managed Services mainly to store large files such as images and videos. We generate with AWS Managed Services processes an external link that allows us to use the files on our platform or implement it with our vendors. We have our bucket in the storage and we also created a few processes that allow us to modify the files to our needs.

Pros

  • Upload large videos
  • Generate external links
  • Allows to create your own process

Cons

  • The interface is not user friendly
  • Hard to track where you saved files
  • Too much going on in the bucket, I see many irrelevant things, want to see only the files I own

Return on Investment

  • It has a good impact
  • It allows us to expand our services to larger files = larger companies/enterprises that have more data
  • It allows us to maintain graphics quality when working with clients.
