Journey Through the AWS Cloud; Development and Test

Journey through the Cloud: Development & Test Ryan Shuttleworth – Technical Evangelist @ryanAWS

Journey through the cloudCommon use cases & stepping stones into the AWS cloud Learning from customer journeys Best practices to bootstrap your projects

Development & test Explore AWS benefits with a ‘non-production’ use caseCreate agility in development & test whilst ‘learning cloud’ Exercise elasticity and automation to real advantage

“…AWS seemed to be the best solution available to allow a small, independent company to rapidly develop and test acompletely new infrastructure, and host it. We also loved the flexibility that AWSallowed us, when spinning up smaller test environments, for beta trials, QA,localization, and during development. The low initial cost was also crucial.” Alex Evans, CTO
