The deployment timeframe typically varies based on the complexity of the transition. For instance, migrating a large server with databases requires thorough planning and preparation, which may extend the deployment time. However, when utilizing AWS services, the platform itself doesn't significantly extend deployment time. Nonetheless, planning remains crucial, especially for substantial workloads. Smaller transitions can be executed more swiftly, although testing and other adjustments may still consume time, given the shift to a new environment. The initial steps involve identifying the specific requirements for transitioning our workload. We then proceed by selecting the most appropriate AWS service that aligns with our needs and considering the relevant service-level agreements. Subsequently, we create a detailed runbook outlining the transition process, including any potential drawbacks or challenges. Finally, we execute the migration according to the established plan. We currently use a consultant for this task, but it's feasible to handle it in-house. The deployment responsibility typically falls on a team of three to four individuals, depending on the nature of the workload being migrated.

We did it in-house. We learned and upgraded our skills ourselves.

We had a team of admins and developers for the deployment process.

The setup process was facilitated through CI/CD pipelines. Initially, we used the AWS CI/CD pipeline but later transitioned to GitLab because we encountered limitations with certain AWS CI/CD use cases. In GitLab, we found more flexibility, enabling us to execute specific functions or steps independently. In contrast, AWS CI/CD typically follows a more rigid sequence, where phases are executed sequentially from initialization to build and deployment.

We did the deployment in-house. 

My company implemented through an in-house team. My company also provides the maintenance for this product. 

No vendor team was necessary.

Initial setup environment helped by AWS free . We were able to handle every aspect of the implementation in-house. We didn't need any consultants or integrators. We used our systems manager so that all of our deployments - including environments and keys - can be stored on our SSM. A lot was automated as well.

We no longer need a team for the installation. When we first started, they guided us, and now we have the experience that allows us to do it on our own.

My team takes care of the implementation. They find it easy to deploy. We haven't faced any issues so far.

I was able to complete the installation myself.

The installation and deployment can be done by yourself.

I had our technical team do it. But you need a technical person. It's not that anybody can do it or a person like me can do it. You need to have a technical person doing it.

I handled the initial setup in-house and by myself.

For the implementation of Amazon AWS, having two to three engineers focusing on it would be ideal. Small to middle size companies, don't have dedicated teams or engineers for a particular service.

Our company is a partner with Amazon, we implement in-house. 

I implemented myself, with an in-house team. 

We handled the implementation ourselves. We didn't need to hire on an integrator or consultant to assist us.

Any service built on AWS is very easy and quick to deploy and does not take much time. Within 10 to 15 minutes, you can bring a server up and launch a website.

We have a five-person team of DevOps and architects that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

Amazon AWS was deployed in-house. I didn't use any integrator, reseller, or consultant.

Middle level

It was pretty much done by our in-house developers.

The amount of people we need for the deployment depends on the use case and what type of business operations you are running. You can start with one resource based on the requirements and you can add the people as you need them. The majority of the people you will need will be for DevOps and you can scale your team as per your requirements. You can start with one at the beginning stage but you could end up needing a hundred thousand people but this depends on the business growth and many factors.

We implement through a vendor team specialized implementing and managing Magento on AWS

With the AWS projects that I lead for clients, it's basically just me that works on deployment, implementation, and maintenance.

I implemented through an in-house team. We're a small, boutique-type company, but we are proficient enough. 

We have a managed service provider that helped us with the implementation of the solution.

We have a 60 person team that manages our data operations and infrastructure. The team consists of many levels, such as system engineers, architects, and managers.

We completed the deployment ourselves but there is a lot of documentation so it's possible, but it's better to have a consultant because it's difficult to know how to do it well the first time.

No staff is required for maintenance.

In-house

I implemented through an in-house team. We have multiple teams for deployment and maintenance. 

All AWS services were deployed in-house, with assistance from AWS support teams.

I implemented AWS myself. 

We have our own team that does the deployment.

We did it ourselves.

we provide the implementation as a consulting company soy neither in house or 3rd party as we are the 3rd party

I implemented it myself with one other person.

We completed the installation internally.

We can deploy the solution for our clients. We have a team that can manage the process. 

Installation was carried out by our own internal integration team, not externally outsourced. I did not handle it myself. It was done by a team specialist. 

The technical team responsible for the deployment consists primarily of engineers. 

The implementation was handled in-house. We did not use an external integrator, reseller, or consultant.

We have an in-house team for deployment and maintenance, but we also have a consultant to assist us.

I did it myself.

As integrators, we can implement the solution for our clients.

I have implemented Amazon with the Redshift database for the ETL components.

We had an integrator help us a bit. They did some hand-holding to make sure everything got up and running properly.

Most of the time, I require the assistance of some technicians.

I did the installation myself.

I handled the initial setup myself. I did not need any help from integrators or consultants. 

We did the deployment ourselves.

We only need a single administrator for the implementation. 

I implemented this solution myself. 

I did the implementation of the solution myself.

We implement the solutions for our clients if they need us to. We deal with AWS, Azure, and Oracle for the most part.

We have a reseller who helped with the deployment.

The product is simple and can be learned with online documentation.

I completed the installation myself.

We did the deployment ourselves. Since we only use the solution for our internal files it allowed us to do the deployment in just one day.
