AWS Is the BroadestCloud Platform.
Getting the Cost Right Is the Hard Part. AWS offers the widest range of cloud services on the market. It is also the platform where most enterprises discover — 12 to 18 months in — that their cloud bill is significantly higher than their on-premise costs were. Symhas architects, migrates, and optimises AWS environments for enterprises — delivering the 99.9%+ uptime and the FinOps discipline that keeps AWS cost-effective at scale.

When AWS Is the Right Choice
The Broadest Platform.
Requires the Most Discipline to Cost-Optimise. AWS is the right choice when your workload requirements span a wider range of managed services than any other cloud platform provides — containerised microservices, serverless functions, IoT, data lakes, and machine learning pipelines all have better native tooling on AWS than anywhere else. The problem most enterprises discover on AWS is that flexibility and breadth come with cost complexity. AWS has over 200 services, each with its own pricing model. Without FinOps governance from day one, enterprises routinely spend 30–40% more than necessary — on over-provisioned instances, orphaned resources, and unused Reserved Instances that were purchased for workloads that have since changed.

Best breadth of managed servicesAWS offers over 200 managed services — more than any other cloud provider. For workloads that need specialised capabilities (Kinesis for streaming, SageMaker for ML, Step Functions for workflow orchestration), AWS is often the only platform with a production-ready native service.
Largest global region footprint33 geographic regions and 105 availability zones — more than Azure or GCP. For enterprises requiring data residency in specific jurisdictions or low-latency access from emerging markets, AWS's region coverage is unmatched.
Best for containerised and serverless workloadsEKS, ECS, Fargate, and Lambda provide the most mature container and serverless ecosystem of any cloud platform. For organisations migrating microservices architectures or building cloud-native applications, AWS's container tooling is the market standard.
Requires active FinOps governance to stay cost-effectiveWithout Reserved Instance planning, Savings Plans optimisation, and continuous rightsizing, AWS environments drift. Symhas implements AWS Cost Explorer governance, automated rightsizing, and monthly FinOps reviews as a standard component of every AWS engagement.

What Symhas Delivers on AWS
Six AWS Services.Architecture, Migration, and Cost Governance. Every Symhas AWS engagement includes a Well-Architected Review, Zero-Trust security baseline, and FinOps governance framework from day one.
AWS Migration & Landing ZoneAWS Control Tower landing zone design, account factory setup, Service Control Policies, and guardrails — followed by application migration using AWS Migration Hub, Application Migration Service, and Database Migration Service.
Zero-Trust Security on AWSAWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Macie, Inspector, and IAM Identity Center — implemented as a unified security posture with automated remediation. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant from go-live. Passed first-attempt audit on every Symhas engagement.
Container & Serverless ArchitectureEKS cluster design, Fargate task configuration, Lambda function architecture, and API Gateway — for organisations migrating monolithic applications to cloud-native microservices or building new applications on AWS serverless.
Disaster Recovery & Multi-RegionAWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, multi-region active-passive architectures, and Route 53 health-check routing — with tested RTO of under 60 minutes for critical applications and automated failover verified quarterly.
AWS FinOps & Cost GovernanceCost Explorer dashboards, Savings Plans analysis, Reserved Instance portfolio management, automated rightsizing recommendations, and monthly FinOps governance reviews. Average 22% cost reduction identified within 90 days of managed operations.
AWS AI/ML Platform ArchitectureSageMaker pipeline design, Bedrock foundation model integration, Kinesis data streaming architecture, and Redshift data warehouse — for organisations building or migrating AI and analytics workloads to AWS.
