Cloud computing is a model that allows you to access computing resources such as servers, storage, databases and software over the Internet, instead of having to own and maintain said infrastructure on your premises.

The benefits of cloud computing are numerous. First, it significantly reduces costs by eliminating the need to purchase and maintain expensive hardware. In addition, you can scale your resources according to your changing needs, giving you the flexibility and agility to grow without limitations. Availability and reliability are exceptional, thanks to AWS’ global data center infrastructure.

Safety is a top priority. The platform provides multiple layers of security, including firewalls, encryption of data in transit and at rest, and identity and access services.

Migration to the cloud is carried out in a planned and gradual manner to minimize disruptions. There are several migration strategies, from “rehosting” (lifting and moving) to complete “rebuilding” of applications. The exact process will depend on your current infrastructure and objectives.

Common challenges include reconfiguring applications for a cloud environment, synchronizing data, training your team on new technologies, and change management. However, AWS provides specific tools and services to facilitate migration, such as AWS Migration Hub and Database Migration Service.
