Self-Managed vs. Managed AWS: Making the Right Choice
Understanding the differences between self-managed and managed AWS solutions is crucial for making an informed decision. Here’s how they compare across key factors:
| Factor | Self-Managed AWS | Opsio Managed AWS |
| Staffing Requirements | Requires dedicated DevOps team with AWS expertise | No additional staff needed; Opsio handles everything |
| Cost Structure | AWS costs + high salaries for specialized staff | AWS costs + predictable management fee (often lower than hiring) |
| 24/7 Monitoring | Requires building monitoring systems and on-call rotations | Included with advanced monitoring and automated remediation |
| Security Management | Requires security expertise and constant vigilance | Comprehensive security protocols and regular audits included |
| Cost Optimization | Requires time and expertise to implement effectively | Ongoing optimization included, typically saving 20-30% |
| Response Time | Depends on internal team availability | Guaranteed response times with 24/7 coverage |
| Focus | Team divides time between infrastructure and business needs | Your team focuses entirely on business objectives |
Did you know? Organizations typically spend 30% of their IT staff time on infrastructure management tasks that could be outsourced to managed AWS hosting providers.
