night, your website can shrink and grow as needed, and you pay only for what you use. Since content requests are automatically
routed to the nearest AWS datacenter, end-users can access high-quality content from around the globe. Access datacenters

Never make your visitors wait again
AWS offers an extensive, customizable platform for you to run your website. You can pick the combination of services that
works for your business. To provision a virtual server for your website, you can launch a general-purpose EC2 instance using
an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). If you are looking for a cost-effective, static web server, you can host your website using our
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). AWS also offers pay-as-you go pricing for access to professional-grade web
development tools, such as Adobe ColdFusion. Packaged web hosting configurations offered by the AWS Marketplace
include Microsoft IIS Live Smooth Streaming, Adobe Media Server, and Adobe Flash.

The AWS Cloud gives your website the flexibility to scale up and down to meet your needs. You can use Auto Scaling to
ensure application availability and resource optimization despite ebbs and flows in traffic. Auto Scaling allows you to set the
conditions by which your website scales, reducing the need to manually provision additional capacity or shut down excess
capacity in advance. Auto Scaling can automatically add new EC2 instances when you are reaching capacity, and reduce the
number of instances when utilization is low. Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) further ensures that your web traffic will be optimally
distributed across your AWS infrastructure, keeping your website available during demand spikes. ELB ensures that only
healthy Amazon EC2 instances receive traffic by detecting unhealthy instances and rerouting traffic accordingly. ELB
automatically scales its request handling capacity to meet the demands of application traffic. Additionally, ELB integrates with
Auto Scaling to ensure that you have back-end capacity to meet varying traffic levels without requiring manual intervention.
By running your website on AWS, you can access high-performance deployment and content distribution tools that minimize
waiting time for your visitors. Amazon CloudFront allows you to distribute your web content to users all over the world with
low-latency and high data transfer speeds. With CloudFront, requests for your web content are automatically routed to the
nearest Availability Zone, enabling the content to be delivered with the best possible performance. CloudFront can deliver
dynamic content at no additional cost, unlike traditional CDNs. It is also optimized for streaming content with Microsoft Smooth
Streaming. AWS Elastic Beanstalk integrates AWS provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and health monitoring tools for
deploying and scaling websites and web applications. Simply upload your code, and Elastic Beanstalk handles the
deployment, freeing you up to focus on improving your applications. Elastic Beanstalk’s management capabilities allow you to
manually configure one, a few, or all elements of your infrastructure, so you retain complete resource control.
With AWS, you can make your website more cost-effective by paying only for what you use. Whether your website has 100
visitors per week or 100 million, you can provision precisely what you need to keep your site running smoothly. You don’t have
to worry about racking and stacking servers, finding a colocation partner, or building a datacenter. Businesses looking for a
flexible, reliable, high-performance cloud platform for their websites should consider AWS for Windows.

Unilever North America needed to re-design its infrastructure to support their digital marketing approach.
Unilever previously used on-premises data centers to host its web properties, all of which had different
technologies and processes. The Unilever IT team had two goals: deliver a common technology platform
for websites with regional content delivery architecture, and migrate existing web properties to the cloud.
“[AWS] reduced the time to launch a project by about 75 percent. What used to take four days now only takes one day.
We’re not rebuilding web and database servers from the ground up all the time. We can just clone and re-use images.”
