AWS – An Introduction
“AWS is synonymous with cloud computing. AWS popularized the scalable pay-as-you-go model that has become the foundation of as-a-service technologies. Since its beginning, AWS has been an innovator, the first to introduce new solutions and industrywide price reductions.” – November 2015, IDC MarketScape.
Amazon Web Services is a secure platform that aids businesses to scale applications with reduced IT costs as they grow, by offering a number of cloud computing services, including global compute power, deployment services, database storage, analytics, content delivery and more. Its wide product portfolio ensures that any possible needs of its end costumers are fulfilled.
Plesk Control Panel – An Introduction
Plesk is an easy to use, powerful platform for building, securing and running sites and apps in the Cloud.
Its intuitive interface with code ready environment allows you to create cloud based web applications and websites, that it secures automatically, thus, saving your precious time with automation of all tasks related to the server.
Plesk comes with multi-server management, integrated support for Docker, Github, and provides code ready environment for Ruby on rails, PHP, Node.js, Python, and more.
Why is there a need for automation today?
The cloud-based services are delivered on a subscription basis – both postpaid and pre-paid models, unlike other traditional business models.
Thus, for delivering cloud-based services, the first and most important need for any cloud service provider is automation with which he can manage all aspects of his business from service delivery to complete product lifecycle, including marketing and sales, billing and pricing, inventory and assets, support and CRM, partner management, Business Intelligence and more.
Also, it should be a single cloud automation software as multiple cloud management platforms lead to a rise in CAPEX and OPEX along with management hassles. With a single automation platform, cloud service providers can decrease the overhead costs incurred through resources and infrastructure.
With amazon web services automation, system administrators are able to manage the infrastructure better in less time and without errors. Also, EC2 automation provides customers with better control of their services.
