01 · Workload
What is the system trying to do?
Start with the application, data movement, users, and operational need before naming an AWS service.
AWS services · field guide
Make the cloud legible.
AWS offers a wide service surface. Anuron helps turn the first conversation into a clearer map of what needs to run, what needs to persist, and how the parts connect.
Workload before catalogueScope before commitment
The first AWS map
Three lanes. One clearer brief.
01
Run
Compute
02
Keep
Data
03
Connect
Network
The service choice becomes easier to discuss after the work has a shape.
Architecture before products
Choose the shape before the service.
AWS is broad by design. A useful starting point is not a list of names—it is a clear picture of the work, data, and connections.
Bring the shape to Anuron02 · Compute
Where does the work run?
Choose the compute shape that fits the application: virtual machines, containers, or serverless execution.
03 · Data
What needs to persist?
Separate files, objects, databases, backups, logs, and the data each part of the system needs.
04 · Connection
How do the parts meet?
Map users, networks, APIs, identity, delivery, and the controls that keep the environment understandable.
The service atlas
Ask the infrastructure question first.
AWS is broad by design. Use the question that matches the next decision, then narrow the service choice around the actual workload.
Match the atlas to a workloadWhere does the work run?
Instances, containers, or serverless execution depending on how the workload needs to run.
What needs to stay available?
Files, objects, blocks, backups, and the access patterns around each one.
What needs structure?
A data layer shaped around reads, writes, relationships, and operational responsibility.
How do the parts meet?
Users, APIs, delivery, regions, and the boundaries between services.
Who can do what?
Identity, permissions, policies, monitoring, and the controls that need to stay visible.
Workload index
Start with the moment, not the catalogue.
Choose the situation closest to the work. The prompts are there to make the first brief more specific.
Describe the workloadBuild the work
A product is taking shape.
Describe the application, its users, its data, and the way it needs to be deployed.
Bring these details
Application shape
Users and access
Deployment path
Migration & modernisation
A careful move starts with an honest inventory.
New build, existing workload, or a mix of both—the useful first step is to make the current system visible.
Discuss the moveUnderstand
Take stock of the current work
List applications, data, integrations, users, dependencies, and the operational decisions around them.
Choose
Decide what should move first
Separate a new build, a direct move, and a mixed environment so the first AWS brief has a clear boundary.
Sequence
Make the next change visible
Set the checks, access, dependencies, and fallback questions before changing the live environment.
Cost & ownership
A useful estimate is a record of decisions.
AWS pricing depends on the selected services, usage, storage, data movement, region, and operating choices. Start by making those choices visible.
Build the first briefUsage
What runs, and when?
Describe always-on work, scheduled jobs, traffic patterns, storage access, and changes over time.
Shape
Which services belong?
Separate essential services from later options so the first environment stays understandable.
Ownership
Who reviews the bill?
Set the person or team that checks usage, changes, budgets, and the next optimisation conversation.
Security & access
Make the boundary visible before the cloud gets busy.
AWS provides security, identity, permissions, and monitoring services. The useful first move is to decide what your team needs to control and review.
Add the boundary to the briefIdentity
Who can enter?
Define people, services, roles, and the credentials needed to access the environment.
Policy
What can they change?
Clarify permissions, approval paths, account boundaries, and the controls around the workload.
Protection
What needs to recover?
Discuss backups, restoration, data protection, and the path after an operational mistake.
Visibility
What should be reviewed?
Choose the logs, alerts, changes, and health signals that matter to the team.
The setup path
A better first brief makes the next step smaller.
You do not need every service decided before the conversation starts. You need the right questions in the room.
Bring the first brief01
Describe the work
Share the application, users, data, integrations, and the change you are trying to make.
02
Map the shape
Separate compute, storage, databases, networking, identity, and the pieces that can wait.
03
Set the boundary
Clarify access, recovery, visibility, ownership, and the questions that need an answer.
04
Keep the brief
Record the proposed direction so future service, cost, and operations decisions stay connected.
Start with the first brief
Tell us what the cloud needs to carry.
Share the workload and the questions behind it. Anuron can help turn the first conversation into a clearer AWS direction.
Useful context
What are you building or moving?
Which data and connections matter?
What needs to be visible and owned?
Which regions or terms need confirmation?
Questions before the brief
The platform is broad. The first decision can be small.
A plain-language reference for service categories, cost variables, regions, migrations, and the Anuron enquiry path.
Begin with the work. Name the service later.
Start an AWS enquiry It refers to the broad AWS cloud categories that may support a workload: compute, storage, databases, networking, security, analytics, machine learning, and migration. The exact service mix depends on the project.
No. Start with the workload, data, users, integrations, access model, and the decision you are trying to make. Those details give the first conversation a useful shape.
This page does not publish a universal AWS price. Costs depend on the selected services, usage, storage, data movement, region, and operating choices. Anuron can discuss the variables that need to be confirmed.
Share the current architecture, access boundary, workload, and the change you are considering. Anuron can then clarify the scope and the appropriate next conversation.
Region selection depends on the users, data, services, availability needs, and commercial or operational requirements of the workload. The right region should be confirmed as part of the brief.
Your contact details and workload note are sent to Anuron’s CRM as a new lead. Anuron can then follow up about service fit, scope, region questions, cost variables, and next steps.
