Advances in Cloud Infrastructure Deployment Using AWS Services for Small and Medium Enterprises
Abstract
The digital transformation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is increasingly reliant on scalable and cost-effective cloud solutions. Amazon Web Services (AWS), as a leading cloud service provider, offers a robust ecosystem of services that facilitate the streamlined deployment, management, and optimization of cloud infrastructure. This paper explores the latest advances in cloud infrastructure deployment using AWS services tailored for SMEs. It provides an analytical overview of the architectural frameworks, automation tools, and deployment strategies that enhance operational efficiency and digital agility. Key AWS services such as Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, and AWS Elastic Beanstalk are evaluated in the context of scalability, high availability, security, and cost-efficiency. The study highlights how Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using AWS CloudFormation and the AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) enables SMEs to automate and version-control infrastructure deployments. It also discusses serverless computing models and containerization technologies such as AWS Fargate and Amazon ECS, which allow SMEs to deploy applications with reduced overhead and enhanced performance. Additionally, the integration of monitoring and security tools like Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Config, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is analyzed to demonstrate how SMEs can maintain compliance and resilience in dynamic operational environments. Case studies from diverse SME sectors illustrate real-world applications and outcomes, showcasing the agility and innovation achievable through AWS-powered infrastructures. By leveraging AWS’s advanced services, SMEs are better positioned to accelerate time-to-market, enhance customer experience, and drive digital innovation without incurring the high capital expenditures traditionally associated with IT infrastructure. This paper concludes with strategic recommendations for SMEs aiming to optimize cloud infrastructure deployment while maintaining scalability, flexibility, and security.
