AWS managed services in India

There are two costs: what you use on AWS, and the management fee. We charge a monthly fee agreed after a free assessment; it depends on how many servers and environments we look after and the hours of cover you need. Providers charge either a fixed monthly retainer or a percentage of your AWS bill; our guide compares the two.

Yes. Your AWS usage stays billed by AWS in rupees, with GST, through AWS's Indian entity — that doesn't change when we manage your account. Our management fee comes on our own GST invoice, in rupees.

Yours. We work through an access role you create in your account and can switch off at any time; we never hold your root login. The account, the data and the bill stay in your name, and if you stop working with us you keep all of it.

AMS is AWS's own operations service, sold to large enterprises. Most Indian businesses get the same result — someone running the account day to day, patching, monitoring, backing up and watching cost — from a managed service provider such as Chandnas, at a monthly fee agreed up front.

Not for running the infrastructure: security, patching, monitoring, backups and cost are ours. You still need someone who owns your application — writing the code and releasing it — and we can set up a deployment pipeline so that is one command rather than a manual job.

Start with what nobody uses: unattached disks, old snapshots, idle load balancers and forgotten test servers. Then right-size instances that run at low CPU, move steady workloads to Savings Plans, and switch development servers off at night. The free assessment lists these for your account, with the saving each would make. AWS cost optimisation

Our monitoring alerts an engineer, who responds within 10 minutes (24/7 for production outages). If the fault is inside AWS itself, we work around it where your setup allows — another availability zone, a restored backup — and keep you posted until it's resolved. Support and SLA

Yes — from a VPS, a dedicated server or servers in your office. We plan the move, rehearse it, keep a way back, and cut over at a quiet hour. The plan and its cost come out of the free assessment. How migration works

Five questions: how they access your account, and whether you can revoke it; who responds at night, and how fast; how the fee is worked out; whether they test restores or only take backups; and what you keep if you leave. Our answers are on this page — ask anyone else the same.
