Overview

EC2 compute that's correctly sized, properly secured, and not costing you more than it should

Amazon EC2 gives you scalable, on-demand compute across hundreds of instance types — but without careful architecture, most organisations end up with over-provisioned instances, ungoverned security groups, and monthly bills that keep climbing.

At DynamicUnit, we provision, configure, and manage EC2 environments that are right-sized from day one. We select appropriate instance families for your workload (compute, memory, GPU, storage-optimised), implement auto-scaling and load balancing for availability, secure the environment with VPC design and IAM policies, and apply Reserved Instance and Savings Plan strategies to optimise your ongoing spend.

Need managed databases alongside your compute layer? Our Amazon RDS practice handles SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL with the same level of care. For organisations on Microsoft Azure, we deliver the same right-sizing and governance on Azure VMs and App Services. We also deploy .NET applications and Python services on EC2 when containerised or serverless isn't the right fit.

Industries We Serve

EC2 infrastructure designed for your industry

E-Commerce & SaaS

Auto-scaled web tiers, load-balanced application servers, and burst capacity for peak traffic events like flash sales and product launches.

Financial Services

Isolated VPC environments, encrypted compute, compliance-ready logging, and high-availability deployments for banking and fintech platforms.

Manufacturing & ERP

EC2 hosting for enterprise applications including ERP systems, MES platforms, and production scheduling tools with reliable uptime SLAs.

Healthcare

HIPAA-eligible EC2 configurations, private subnets for patient data workloads, encrypted storage, and audit-ready CloudTrail logging.

Our Capabilities

Full EC2 infrastructure management

From initial architecture to ongoing cost optimisation - here's what our AWS EC2 practice delivers.

Instance Design & Provisioning

Select the right instance family and size for your workload - compute (C-series), memory (R/X-series), storage-optimised (I/D-series), or GPU (P/G-series).

Auto Scaling

Configure Auto Scaling Groups with target tracking, step scaling, and scheduled scaling policies that handle peak load without permanent over-provisioning.

Elastic Load Balancing

Deploy Application, Network, or Gateway Load Balancers with health checks, SSL termination, and cross-zone balancing for high availability and fault tolerance.

AMI Build & Management

Create hardened, patched AMIs for Windows Server and Linux distributions - with automated image pipelines using EC2 Image Builder for consistent deployments.

VPC & Security Architecture

Design VPCs with public/private subnet separation, security group rules, NACLs, VPN connectivity, and IAM instance profiles following least-privilege principles.

Cost Optimisation

Analyse utilisation with Cost Explorer and Compute Optimizer, migrate to Reserved Instances or Savings Plans, and move appropriate workloads to Spot Instances.

Monitoring & Alerting

Configure CloudWatch dashboards, custom metrics, alarm policies, and Systems Manager for proactive health monitoring and automated remediation.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Implement AWS Backup policies, cross-region AMI replication, and tested recovery runbooks with defined RTO and RPO targets for business continuity.

Why DynamicUnit

What makes our EC2 environments different

Provisioning an EC2 instance takes minutes. Building an environment that's correctly sized, properly secured, cost-controlled, and operable by your team is a different matter entirely. Here's what we bring.

Right-Sizing from Day One

We analyse your workload characteristics before selecting instance types - preventing the costly habit of defaulting to the largest size "just in case".

Security Built Into the Architecture

VPC design, security group rules, IAM roles, and Systems Manager access replace bastion hosts and SSH keys - reducing the attack surface from the start.

Structured Cost Management

We implement tagging policies, budget alerts, and Reserved Instance planning so you always know what you're spending and why - and where to cut.

Infrastructure as Code

We provision using CloudFormation or Terraform - giving you version-controlled, repeatable, auditable infrastructure that can be recreated reliably.

Availability Architecture

Multi-AZ deployments, Auto Scaling, and Load Balancers are standard - not optional extras bolted on after the first outage.

Ongoing Managed Support

Named engineers who know your environment, proactive patching, monthly cost reviews, and SLA-backed response for production incidents.

How We Work

From assessment to managed infrastructure in 4 phases

1
Workload Assessment

We analyse your workload characteristics, traffic patterns, availability requirements, and compliance needs. You get an architecture proposal with instance recommendations and cost projections.

2
Infrastructure Provisioning

VPC design, instance provisioning, AMI builds, security group configuration, and IAM role setup - all deployed as infrastructure as code via CloudFormation or Terraform.

3
Application Migration & Testing

We migrate your applications, configure Auto Scaling and Load Balancers, run load tests, and validate disaster recovery procedures before go-live.

4
Managed Support & Optimisation

CloudWatch monitoring, proactive patching, monthly cost reviews, and Reserved Instance planning. Named engineers who know your environment handle incidents and change requests.

FAQ

Common questions about Amazon EC2

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides resizable virtual machines in the cloud. It supports Windows Server and Linux operating systems across hundreds of instance types - covering general purpose, compute-optimised, memory-optimised, storage-optimised, and GPU workloads. You can run web servers, application servers, databases, batch jobs, machine learning workloads, and enterprise applications including SAP and Microsoft workloads.

The most impactful cost reductions come from right-sizing (removing over-provisioned capacity), purchasing Reserved Instances or Compute Savings Plans for baseline workloads (saving 30–60% vs on-demand), using Spot Instances for fault-tolerant batch workloads, and implementing Auto Scaling so you only pay for what you need at any given time. We typically achieve 30–50% cost reductions in the first 90 days of an optimisation engagement.

Auto Scaling adjusts the number of EC2 instances running based on demand - adding capacity during peak load and removing it during quiet periods. Elastic Load Balancing distributes incoming traffic across the available instances. They work together: ELB routes traffic to healthy instances while Auto Scaling ensures the right number of healthy instances are running.

Yes - we manage multi-region EC2 deployments for global availability, disaster recovery, and data sovereignty requirements. This includes cross-region AMI replication, Route 53 health checks with failover routing, and consolidated billing and cost visibility across all regions.

We implement defence-in-depth: VPC with private subnets for application instances, security groups with least-privilege inbound rules, IAM roles instead of access keys, Systems Manager Session Manager instead of SSH/RDP over the internet, encrypted EBS volumes, and GuardDuty for threat detection. We also enforce IMDSv2 and disable public IP addresses where not required.

A new environment build with VPC design, instance provisioning, Auto Scaling, and monitoring typically takes 2-4 weeks. Migrations from on-premises or other cloud providers run 4-8 weeks depending on the number of workloads and application complexity. We provide a phased plan after the initial assessment.

Managed support pricing depends on the number of instances, monitoring requirements, and SLA level. We offer tiered support packages starting from a monthly retainer that covers monitoring, patching, incident response, and monthly cost reviews. We provide a transparent quote after scoping your environment.
