AWS as the enterprise cloud platform
AWS remains the largest and broadest enterprise cloud provider, with the deepest service catalog across compute, storage, networking, data, and AI. For AWS-centric enterprises — which include most large U.S. technology and financial-services organizations — AWS is the default delivery platform for every Thoughtwave engagement shape: data modernization, AI accelerators, cybersecurity operations, and managed services.
How Thoughtwave delivers on AWS
Our AWS engagements span the platform:
- Compute: EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda depending on the workload's operational pattern.
- Storage: S3 as the default object store, RDS/Aurora for relational, DynamoDB for NoSQL.
- Data platforms: Redshift for warehousing, Glue for ETL, Lake Formation for lakehouse governance, Amazon MSK for streaming.
- AI: Amazon Bedrock for frontier model access (Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, Cohere, Amazon's own Nova models), SageMaker for ML engineering, Amazon Q for enterprise AI assistants.
- Security: IAM, Organizations, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Macie — integrated into our cybersecurity engagements.
- Observability: CloudWatch, CloudTrail, X-Ray for the full telemetry stack.
Our accelerators deploy cleanly on AWS when that is the client's cloud preference. The TWSS Commercial Credit AI self-hosted stack runs well on AWS with appropriate GPU instances.
Authentication and governance
AWS integration runs through IAM — for enterprise deployments we align Organizations structure, Service Control Policies, and IAM roles to the client's data-classification and compliance regime. SSO integration via IAM Identity Center connects to the client's identity provider.
When AWS wins the primary-cloud decision
For enterprises already running primary workloads on AWS, the Thoughtwave engagement extends that footprint rather than fighting it. For multi-cloud enterprises, we deliver AWS workloads alongside Azure or GCP workloads under a common governance model. Our engagements are cloud-neutral — we recommend the platform that fits the client's workload, stack, and team skill, not a vendor we carry an obligation to.
