Accessible to multiple stakeholders
• Development teams are often split across
organisations
• Secure access is required for all teams to a
secure environment
• Being outside Departmental boundaries
can simplify security procedures.

On-Demand
Development and Test
are ‘spiky loads’.
Turn off environments
when you are not using
them.
Pay for what you use
Reserved
Instances
For some aspects of
your environment like
source control you will
need it on all the time
Make a low, one-time
payment and receive a
significant discount on
the hourly charge
No Capacity
Planning
There is no need to
have to plan for
capacity.
If you need a new
environment for hotfix
testing, you can have
one in minutes
Spot
Bid for unused capacity,
charged at a Spot Price
which fluctuates based
on supply and demand
For time-insensitive or
transient workloads
Dedicated
Launch instances within
Amazon VPC that run
on hardware dedicated
to a single customer
For highly sensitive or
compliance related
workloads

AEC & AWS
A brief history of our exploratory AWS deployments..
#1 General Voter Registration System
• Fat client .NET / SQL Server app
#2 Email load generation
• Validation of AEC’s email system throughput
#3 Election results publication
• Material for public consumption

Why
• #1 Robust server environment, deployment option
• #2 Flexibility / agility
• #3 Deal with election spike, cost

Benefits + Challenges + The Future
• For these use cases: higher utility and lower cost
• Very different  perceived risks
• The future: “the cloud” is here to stay
• For the AEC, it’s a viable option for some deployment
scenarios
• Expect to use when the value for money proposition is strong
• Most interest today: election results
