Getting to Know the Essence of Cloud Technology for Startup Business Growth

Referring to the digital economy that continues to grow, and digital consumption that is increasingly accelerated after the pandemic requires startup actors to carefully manage their technology infrastructure. Especially for startups that are in the 'growth' phase, flexibility in managing infrastructure in handling significant scale increases is an essential factor in running a business.

With the development of today's cloud technology, flexibility in managing startup infrastructure to handle significant scale ups can be easily achieved, thanks to the availability of increasingly comprehensive cloud technology solution providers. Cloud technology solutions are at the forefront when digital adoption has increased significantly since the 2020 pandemic. WEF research also said that cloud computing was one of the most widely adopted technologies during the pandemic, which was 95%.

One of the leading cloud computing technology service provider platforms is AWS Indonesia, which is known for not only providing cloud computing solution facilities, but also providing direct support to the industry. As previously known, AWS is a leading cloud solution provider platform that offers more than 200 complete, superior services from data centers globally.

In Indonesia, the AWS platform serves cloud solutions for corporations, as well as customers who come from startup circles. Speaking of startups, AWS Indonesia has a program called AWS Activate Founders. This program is claimed to be specifically designed to provide tactical support to the startup industry, through various kinds of support, be it technology support, resources, to expert support.

Program AWS Activate Founders carries a number of benefits to support significant startup growth. On the official website, it is stated that startups that are members of the program will immediately receive a number of benefits, such as; up to US$10 AWS credit, US$350 AWS support credit, guidance best practice through access AWS Trusted Advisors and AWS Personal Health Dashboard, AWS signature infrastructure templates, member-exclusive offers, to useful content and support resources in Activate Console.

The attractive offers offered above can certainly be utilized by startups under certain criteria. For example, a new startup is verified as a new member of AWS Activate Founders, funding levels vary from bootstrap to A-series, has an active website, and has been in existence for the last 10 years.
