 Today is all about asking the experts about hosting, migrating, and managing your websites with AWS, which is Amazon Web Service. My name is Aretha Simons. I'm honored to be the way we're not producing here today. Before I introduce the speakers, I'm going to show you how you can engage someone. It's already familiar. They've already told them to close caption. If you do need to close caption, hit the CC button in your Zoom section, and you'll be able to use the closed caption. We are recording this. The recording with the slides are going to be sent to you within four to eight hours, probably tomorrow. So check your inbox for that. Our guest speakers here today, our guest experts. I'm not going to say just speakers, our expert here today is Angela Sy. And we have Kanal Jindal. They are going to give you all the questions and answers about AWS. So I'm going to turn this over to Angela. Welcome, everybody. And have a great webinar. Thank you, Aretha, for that introduction. Let me go ahead and share right there. All right. Hello, everyone. My name is Angela Sy, and I am a solutions architect here at AWS. And I'm really excited to be here today to talk to you all about AWS and hosting website with AWS. And so for the agenda for today, we are going to start by talking about who is AWS and what exactly is cloud computing. I saw in the chat that we have a couple of people who are here to learn more about cloud and you're not currently in AWS yet. So no worries. That's why I'm here for today to tell you a little bit more about what we do. Then we'll dive into why a website, why are we honing in on the topic of website today and how does that matter for your organization and how can you innovate your website with AWS? I will also show you a demo of how you can easily host your website with AWS and we will leave some time at the end for a Q&A session. So who is AWS? Well, we were founded over 15 years ago and we started as Amazon.com. So after years of operating the online shopping platform, we realized that we got very good at one thing and that is operating IT technology at a massive scale for millions of customers. So we thought, well, why don't we take this technology that we've developed, that the knowledge that we've learned from operating this online platform and pass that along to other organizations such as yourself. And actually some of our earliest customers are nonprofit customers. Some of the ones you might have heard of are Red Cross, Co.org, PDS and they are still customers of AWS today and they continue to innovate their organizations with AWS. And we also have dedicated teams that help nonprofit organizations like you. So just now I mentioned that I am a solutions architect. So what that means is I am a technical guidance for my nonprofit customers as they navigate through their cloud journey because cloud can be sort of intimidating and daunting especially if you haven't done it before and that's what me and my colleague solutions architects are here for to help you and we are a free resource to you and my team is actually dedicated specifically to nonprofit customers. And later we'll also showcase more resources that we have specifically for our nonprofit customers like you to help you get started. So now we talked about AWS, but what is cloud computing? So cloud computing, the punchline is it is the on-demand delivery of IT resources via the internet with a pay as you go model. So okay, well, why does that matter? Well, you're probably here today because you heard about cloud either from word of mouth, other organizations are doing it and you want to consider this for your organization or maybe what you're currently using today whether it is traditional infrastructure or some alternative solution that you have and you want it to be better. And many of the customers that I have worked with are in similar positions. What I've heard from them is and I'm sure you're familiar with is with traditional infrastructure the equipment piece can sometime be challenging to handle. So for example, you have to pay a some upfront fee, right to pay for the servers, to pay for the space to put the servers, cooling and maintaining it. And on top of that, you have to assign people to maintain those servers, watch those servers and making sure that everything is going well. And when things aren't going well, you have to send people to troubleshoot for those physical servers. And that's taking time away from your team that they can be spending innovating and exploring new ideas for your business. And on top of that with traditional infrastructure, a lot of times there are contracts that you've got to sign or license things that you have to adhere to and often time that leads to overpaying for resources that you're not really using. And with the cloud, that all changes. So at AWS, we operate on a utility model. So what that means is similar to the utilities of your house, you pay for just the amount of electricity that you're consuming or just the amount of water that you've used for your house. And that's how cloud computing works. You're only paying for the resources that you've consumed and you don't have to over provision. And with the cloud, you have the agility, the capability to innovate fast. We have all sorts of IT resources, just a click of a button away for you from databases to machine learning to data analytics to servers, storage, anything you can think of. It is now one click away to you so that your team can quickly innovate try it out and experiment. If it doesn't work, no worries. There was no contract, you just turn it off and you're no longer paying for it. And now you know it doesn't work, right? So that ability to innovate fast and trial new things is invaluable for organizations. And also with the cloud, similar idea, you have that scalability, right? So you can quickly provision new servers, additional servers, if you have an influx of users, maybe you're hosting some sort of special events and you need more servers than you typically need, right? Or maybe you are testing out a separate environment. And once you're done, you can quickly scale back down so you're not overpaying for the resources that you're not using for most part of the year. And now this will also give your developers or your IT team time back to do things that they would rather be doing for your organizations rather than maintaining those servers. So those are the typical challenges that I hear from our customers that I'm sure resonate with you as well. But why websites, right? Why are we here to talk about websites today? Why do you need a fast, reliable website? And how does that have anything to do with your donor or spreading your organization's mission? Well, as I'm sure you all are aware, we're all aware, technology has really changed how we communicate, especially within the last few years. Everyone is online all the time now. And so let's say someone hears about your organization, whether it is through the word of mouth or maybe they attended an event and saw your table or maybe they saw one of your flyers or your posts on social media and they're intrigued in your organization and your mission now. What is probably the first thing they're going to do to learn more about you? They're probably gonna go to your website, right? They're going to research you. They're gonna search online for your information. Look at your website. Are you a legitimate organization? What are your missions? What areas do you serve? What are some things or projects that your organizations may have accomplished before that they're interested in? And if they're interested in helping out, right? How do they volunteer? How do they sign up to volunteer? How do they donate their money? If you don't have a website for them to look at, a lot of times that will lead to loss and confidence in your organization. And it's not just the lack of website that will potentially lead to loss and confidence, right? It's also having a slow website. So someone at some point told me, we're now at a time where we are impatient even standing in front of a microwave. And that's true. You live in such a fast-paced world that we don't like waiting. So if somebody goes to your website and your website takes five to 10 seconds to load, sure, five to 10 seconds sounds really short for us, but for somebody who's waiting for their website to load, they may think something is wrong with your website or that your website is not working, right? So most likely what they're going to do is they're going to refresh a couple of times. If it still doesn't load, they'll probably close the website or move on or go do something else, right? Because I know I'm guilty of being impatient and waiting on websites. Your website is, in a way, the modern day first impression, and we want to make sure we give the good first impression to your audience. And on top of that, there's a lot of virtual events now, especially ever since COVID, right? A lot of the marketing is done virtually, your event advertisement, those are all done virtually. So if you're hosting a special event, whether it's fundraising or maybe it's an awareness month related to your admission, or maybe it is the giving season in November and now you have an influx of users who are coming to your website, you need a site that is able to handle that increased volume of users without having to pay for the additional resources throughout the year and incur additional operation costs. So what I want to share with you now is two of our customers who face those exact same problems and they innovate it with AWS. They came to AWS, found a solution with AWS, and I want to share their story with you. So first one is Code.org. So Code.org is an organization that provides free K through 12 computer science curriculums through their website. And every year they have a special event called the Hour of Code where they have millions of students who fled to their website to participate in this event and participate in the activities. So as you can imagine, this creates a huge influx of traffic that they're not normally used to outside of the other 51 weeks of the year. So that was the challenge that they have and they came to AWS. And the solution that they found was they utilized a feature that we have called auto scaling. And so just like its name auto scaling means that you can automatically scale your number of servers based on your demand. There is a high number of demand, the server count the compute capacity automatically goes up. When it's no longer needed, it automatically scales it back down so that you are saving money. And so with that feature, by implementing that in their website, Code.org was able to successfully host this event, this Hour of Code event for their students across the globe and on top of that, because it's able to scale back down and they don't have to have the extra resources sitting there all year, they were able to save $1.3 million in terms of operation costs. The other customer story I want to share with you is the Orange County United Way. So United Way is a global organization where they have local programs that help the communities in terms of healthcare, education and economic mobility. And the challenge that they ran into is during COVID-19, they established a new program for homelessness prevention to help those who are at risk of homelessness. And as I'm sure most of us remember, COVID-19 came very quickly and the situation escalated very quickly, leaving very little time to prepare or plan. And so United Way for this homeless prevention program, for the application process, they decided at first to funnel it through their existing call center. But what they quickly realized was that this was not working. They were getting a large number of calls and it was creating long queue wait times for their call centers. So they realized they needed a new solution and they reached out to their AWS team. And so the solution that they ended up going with is utilizing a web hosting service that we have called AWS Amplify. And basically with Amplify, they were able to create a web application as well as a mobile application. And they were able to do all of this within three weeks. And so with Amplify, they alleviated the call time from the call center because now all the applications are going through the website instead. And on top of that, because Amplify supports both computer web application development as well as mobile development, it allowed them to reach more audience because a lot of the audience and members that they serve don't necessarily own a computer laptop on top of the cell phone. But Amplify allowed them to do both and reach both types of audiences. And so with this applications launched, they were able to distribute over $2.6 million in aid and helping over 5,000 families. And again, they were able to do all of this website just within three weeks. So, so far we talked about the typical challenges that drive people to choose the cloud, some of which probably are the reasons that you're exploring the idea of cloud. Then we talk about why website, why is that important for your organization? And I shared with you two of our customers journey on how they were able to innovate with AWS, one highlighting the scalability and the other highlighting how quickly you can get that going. And so now I wanna shift the gear to talk about how you and your organization can launch your web application with AWS. So you're here for web hosting, so you're likely looking for one of these three things. You may be looking for a static website where you're simply hosting content, information about your organization where you just have simple HTML pages. Or maybe you are looking to host a more dynamic website where you have backend codes that you would like to manage. If that's the case, maybe you're looking for a virtual server where you still have control over your full environment, but you don't have to have that physical server there anymore, you hand that off to AWS. Or maybe you're looking to have a more managed application where you're still having a server but you want AWS to take care of the more managing day-to-day tasks like OS patching, BACA, things like that. If you are someone who's more in the first category looking for a static website, then AWS Amplify would be a good option for you. So Amplify is the service that I mentioned just now that Orange County United Way uses. And so like I mentioned, it supports both web and mobile application development. On top of that, it integrates with a lot of other tools to allow you to do continuous development pipeline. Or if you need authentication, right? If you want your website to be username and password protected, it has tools that you can integrate with that easily. Or maybe it is you have a global audience, right? You have users who are in different countries outside of where you're based. You can integrate it with a global content delivery network so that your users, no matter where they are, have the same great experience. If you're somebody who was in the other categories where you're looking to have a virtual server for your application or your website, the easiest way to get started is Amazon LightSale. LightSale allows you to spin up a virtual server just within a click and that's something that we will demo in a second here. And it can do outside of web hosting. It can also do other application hosting as well. And the last one is if you're someone who wants a more robust environment, you want auto-scaling capabilities and you want AWS to manage a lot of the day-to-day heavy lifting, the management task, like the backup I mentioned, then Beanstalk can be a good option for you. So Beanstalk will help you set up an environment and provide you the monitoring tools that you need to see how your environment is performing. It will also do auto-scaling so that you can accommodate for demand different times of the year. It can be highly available and provide low balancing for your servers all within a few clicks. Now, one of the most common questions that I get through my time working with nonprofit customers is how do I post a WordPress website on AWS? And WordPress is popular among nonprofit organizations because it's a very easy way to have a very nice looking website, especially for organizations that may not want to hire a full-time developer, web developer on staff, right? It's a very easy way to get a website going. And so for the rest of the time that we have here, I'm going to focus on WordPress specifically. So for WordPress, the easiest way to get started would be through Amazon LightSail. It is ideal for your simple workloads. It is a very quick deployment and it is a great choice if this is your first time getting started on AWS. Basically, it's a great way for you to dip your toe in the water. And the nice thing about LightSail is that it has its own platform outside of the AWS console, which is another reason why it's great for people first starting because you have everything that you need from the server to the load balancer to storage, all within the LightSail platform without having all the other services that we provide that can be a little bit daunting the first week. Look at it. And finally, it is also very cost-effective. So LightSail pricing is based on a monthly model and the monthly plan starts as low as $3.50 per month. And we also offer a free tier where you can try out the first three months for free for some of the plans that we offer. So last thing before we go into the demo and I just wanna tell you a little bit more about LightSail is while we've been focusing on websites, LightSail, its simplicity and affordability is also a great choice for a lot of other use cases. So for LightSail, you can launch a server with just the operating system install, whether that is Linux or Windows. And then on top of this basic virtual server, you can then run your software on top of it. So maybe you have a accounting software that your organization is using or maybe it is a donor management software that you're using. You can run that on top of either a Linux or a Windows server with LightSail. Or you can run a server that comes with the application pre-installed. And because it's pre-installed when you launch it, the WordPress or Drupal application will already be working. And the last part is you can also use it to hose your development stack. If you have a LAMP stack or Node.js for your web application, that's also something that LightSail can do. So with all of that, I figured the best way to show you the capability of LightSail and how effective web hosting is with AWS is to go ahead and show you. So let me go ahead and switch to the AWS console here. All right, just one second while I re-lock in here. Alrighty, go ahead and do that. So here we are at the AWS console. If you are someone who already uses AWS or have explored, this probably looks familiar to you. If you're new, no worries. This is the AWS console. And what you can do is on the top here, we have a search bar where you can easily search for whichever service that you want to go to. And let's go ahead and type in LightSail. So you'll notice when I click on LightSail, it takes me to a completely different screen. Again, if you're somebody who already uses AWS, you'll notice this looks very different from the AWS console. And that is because it is abstracting away a lot of those many services you can use to give you a similar UI for someone who's just starting. So that you're not overwhelmed by the number of things that can be going on. So here's the LightSail home page. What we're going to do is I'm going to show you how quickly it is to get a WordPress website start. So I'm going to click on this create and since button here on the right here. When you come to this configuration page, one of the first things you'll get asked is where do you want this server? So we have regions throughout the US and different parts of the US and as well as regions across the globe. So this is good if you have a global audience or if your organization is based here in the US, but your clientele is somewhere outside of the US and you want to make sure that they have a smooth experience. You can launch a server in the region closest to your user. So I'm going to keep it as Oregon for now since that's the one closest to me. Then coming down here, the next question you'll get asked is what type of server do you want? As you'll see here, we have Linux versus Windows. For both of these, you can do just the operating system. So you have different versions of your Windows. And again, like I mentioned, the use case here can be you have your own commercial software or open source software that you want to run on top of these servers and that's something you can do. And for Linux, we have different distributions that you can pick from. If you want to have a server that's come on top of the application, then here are some of the applications that are available to you. We're going to pick WordPress and that's the one I'm going to be demoing for you today. So coming down here, we have two optional things you can configure. One of them is a launch script. And so basically if you have some sort of scripts that you would like to run at the launch of the server, this is where you can input that. So maybe you have a storage that you want to make sure it connects to you, a database whatsoever, you can enter that here. And if you are someone who does development work on your local machine, with this part as SH key, you can either upload your own key or create a new key to download so that you can use that on your machine to connect to the server. If you're someone who is not familiar with SSH and you're going, okay, well, I don't really quite understand this, no worries because LightSell also provides a way for you to connect to your servers through a command line without you really needing to know what is SSH. And I will show you that to you as well. The next thing I want to highlight is the capability to do automatic snapshots. So having a website is really important but having a backup of it is also extremely important in case something were to happen. Traditionally on premises, you might have to do that as a manual process, but with LightSell, you have the capability to set up automatic snapshots and you can set it to a certain time of the day that you would like LightSell to automatically create that snapshot for you so you don't have to worry about backing up your web servers. Then the next thing coming down here, we have the different monthly plans that I was talking about. So we start at $3.50 and you have different plans you can pick from and the difference is in how performant is the server going to be and you can see the configuration of the servers down here at the bottom and you can also sort these different monthly plans based on different metrics. And as you'll see these first three ones here, we offer it to you for free for the first three months which allows you to easily try it out if you would like. So I'm going to stick with the $3.50 because that's all I need for the demo today. The last thing you will need is name your instance. So I'm going to call this our TechSoup demo and here is where you can specify how many instances you would like to launch today. So I'm going to go ahead and do two. So that we can have a highly available website that in case one of them fails, I can switch to the other one and my users don't have to experience any downtime. So I'm going to create instance. So while those two, while the servers are getting ready, I wanna point out a couple of things to you. So with LightCell, we have extensive documentation that is there to support you. So if after I click through everything, you're like, oh, no, I already forgot what was the first thing that she did. Don't worry, we have documentations on that. There's also a search bar up here that allows you to search through. So if I say, how do I launch WordPress? It will take me to the documentation down here. We have a quick start guide, a tutorial and you have all these resources available to you. So coming back to the screen that we were at, you'll notice it is no longer grayed out because our instances are ready and that is how quickly you can get a server running with LightCell and it's incredible. So let's go ahead and click on this first server to see what are some of the things that we can see here. So I see the name of my server, I see the configuration that I have and I see where is the server located. On top of that, I also see the public IP address. So just to prove to you that this is running, let's go ahead and take that public IP address and put it over here and look at our WordPress website. Looks like it's still configuring. So let's give it just a couple more seconds and let me show you a couple more things before we go back to that. So here we have multiple tabs that you can look at for your website. One of the coolest thing and nicest thing about LightCell is the metrics. So you have metrics that can allow you to monitor your server and all of this come pre-configured with the LightCell instances and not just the CPU. So if I expand this, you have status checked, has your website been giving errors, how's your server doing in terms of CPU, networking, et cetera. So all of this come ready for you and you don't have to configure anything. The next thing is snapshots. So we already talked about that. You can do automatic snapshots or if you want to take a main of snapshot, you can do that from here as well. So another nice thing about snapshots besides backup is let's say today you realize, okay, based on the metrics, I feel like this instance size is too big. I want to downgrade it to a cheaper plan. I no longer need this large of an instance. You can take a snapshot, turn off your old instance and use that snapshot to spin up a new instance and it's as simple as that. Next we have storage. You have a storage that comes pre-attached for your server or you can attach additional disks if you would like. And then finally we have a networking. So we have the public IP address that we assigned to you and then as well as firewall that comes pre-configured and you can easily add rules for your website to protect it. So now let's come back to this public IP and give it a refresh. It should be good now. There we go. So now we have this WordPress website. Although boring, there's nothing to look at but it's running now. So let me show you one more thing. So coming back to the light cell side, I'm gonna go back to the tab of connect and I'm going to connect to my server. And the reason why I want to do that is since the WordPress application comes pre-installed with the light cell, the password of this specific WordPress site is also stored inside the light cell machine. And so you can retrieve that by connecting to the light cell instance. And earlier I mentioned it's okay that you don't know what SSH means because if you go ahead and click on this connect using SSH, it takes care of all the keys and stuff for you in the backend. So I'm going to go ahead and look at the files I have on here and right here, this bitnami application password file is what I'm looking for. So I'm gonna go ahead and open that. And again, if you're like, oh no, this is going really fast. I can't take notes fast enough. Don't worry, we have prescriptive guidance tutorials for all of these. So I'm going to copy that password and take that password. And now what I'm going to do is come back to my block and I'm going to go to the admin page for it. And I'm going to log in with the password I just retrieved. And voila, here is my website or WordPress admin site. If you're someone who already uses WordPress, this is probably a very familiar screen to you. This is where you can set the title of your page. This is where you can add new pages, add a donation page, edit your pages, things like that. And so this is just like your everyday typical WordPress website. And now you've had that on AWS. So the last thing I will show you here is the highly available capability. So I'm gonna come to you on the left here, networking. So on the networking side, you'll notice we have two options, creating a low balancer or creating a distribution. Low balancer allows you to have a single entry point for your servers and you can have two, three, four, five servers behind it. And what it does is one of those server fails, it will redirect the traffic to the servers that are working. And so your users won't experience any downtime. And this is great for the provider highly available application for your organization. The other one is a distribution. So this is a global distribution, meaning that if you launch your server in US, but you also have users in Asia, you could spin up another server in Asia, or you can take advantage of the global distribution and cash some of the content closer to your users so that they have the same great experience, no matter where they are. And then the last thing is domain name. So if you're someone who has existing domain name, don't worry, you can bring that and create a domain name with light sale so that your servers can inherit your organization's domain name. Or if you're someone who doesn't have a website and don't have a domain name, don't worry, you can also register that with light sale. So again, this is a great way to get started because you literally have everything that you need to get your website working all within this console. So with that concludes my demo for light sale. And I am going to pass it over to my colleague, Kunal, who will now be sharing with you about how some of the other resources that we may have to help nonprofit organizations get started on top of what I've already mentioned. Thank you, Angela. Hi, everyone. My name is Kunal Jindal. I'm a principal product manager with the AWS for non-profits team. My colleague Angela shared one particular use case around launching a website. I actually want to focus on a couple of more things. First, similar to building websites, I will share the other needs that nonprofit customers have told us about. And second, share solution that we at AWS have built specifically for nonprofits to address the needs that we have heard. For this call, I'm actually going to share one of our AWS web properties called the solutions library. Angela, if you can stop sharing the screen. Thank you. Starting to share my screen. So this is the page for solutions library, the resource that I was talking about. As you may have guessed, solutions library is a repository for sharing solutions and architectural guidance to solve industry specific challenges. And I'm really excited to share with you that we have a nonprofit specific solution library page here. The needs that we have heard about from nonprofits range rather broadly. I will quickly walk you through a few of these. What Angela was talking about is one of the needs around website application and e-commerce scaling, which as you can see is a part of our cloud fundamentals solution area. So the needs that you see here are solution areas such as cloud fundamentals and within them various use cases or needs that we have heard. So solution area essentially is a group of related needs and within cloud fundamentals, some of the other needs that we have heard about from nonprofits include how to set up a personalized contact center for donors and members and visualizing donor data. Similarly, one of the other solution areas is IT optimization, where backup and disaster recovery of mission critical data, optimizing cost, security, migration and modernization are some of the common needs that we have heard about from nonprofits. Walking you through the rest of the needs. Another common solution area is donor member and volunteer insights. Within this data unification use case is focused on need to be able to unify and draw insights from valuable donor data which is currently sitting in desperate tools. Another need here is personalizing communication with donors. Moving on to donor experiences. This is where we have a need around digital fundraising. For example, what to solicit from which donor at what frequency? And now we demonstrate how nonprofits can actually use AWS solutions and services to address these needs that we talked about. I will go over three examples at a broad level. I'm going to flip to next page which is an architecture for donor member or data analytics on AWS. This architecture shows these steps. Here are the steps. The steps that nonprofits can take to ingest data from disparate sources into AWS, clean and normalize the data and then drive modern interactive dashboards. On this topic of ingesting data, we have recently launched a connector, a data connector for BlackBot, specifically the Razer's Edge NXT tool which is a very popular tool amongst nonprofits used as a CRM, Customer Relationship Management tool. This is a specific technology called Aflo, which is a service within AWS which makes it pretty easy to be able to ingest data within a few clicks from tools like BlackBot Razer's Edge NXT and many others to data warehouses in AWS. And this data transfer can be at preferred frequency either on demand or on schedule. I do want to point out here that the specific data connector while I was talking about one particular connector, we have a number of other connectors for tools which are used most frequently by nonprofits. Some examples include Salesforce, Google Sheets, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Marketer, HubSpot and PayPal. Back to the topic of architectural solutions. So here is another example of how campaign administrators in nonprofits can automate the donation solicitation process from donors at a defined frequency. And again, this leverages our AI ML, artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities as well as omni-channel contact center capabilities. So the services that are commensurate to AI ML as well as omni-channel contact center are used in this specific solution to be able to solicit donation from donors at a defined frequency. The last solution that I'm going to talk about is about predictive scores for member retention on AWS. This architecture details are the steps that nonprofits can take to understand which members are likely to allow their membership to lapse and the reasons for the same. I know this was a high-level overview. The intent here is to show that there's a lot of possibilities with AWS, not just around websites. And Solutions Library is one of the many resources that you have at disposal to be able to gauge what's possible with AWS. With that, I'm actually going to stop sharing my screen. Angela, can you share the presentation back again, please? Yes, can you move to the next slide? Yes, one final call out from my side. But there's a number of other great resources available for you outside of the Solutions Library that I was just talking about. These include the credit program, which is specific to nonprofits. AWS has amazing partners who have solutions to many of your needs already. AWS Marketplace for nonprofits where you can actually procure many of these offerings from partners. Imagine Grant, again, something exclusive to nonprofits. Also are AWS's annual Imagine Nonprofit Conference. And lastly, the powering purpose in the cloud guide. You see a QR code here. So the call to action is please scan the QR code to be able to access this specific guide. We'd also love feedback on what resonates amongst these use cases that I was showing and what's missing. And with that, I'm opening it up to the group for any questions to Angela or myself. Okay, there's a question from Kay Smith. Does AWS have a solution similar to Azure files? Yeah, I can take that one. So I am not familiar with Azure files since I am more of an AWS expert, but some of the file sharing solutions that we have are we have ones where you can have the file share where everyone can download the driver on their local laptop, right? And then that file share is living inside the cloud, but it will appear as if it's a local drive for your users who are using their laptops, right? We also have solutions which is very similar to your traditional Windows file share. We have a managed solution for that. It works just like what you have today if that's what you're using a Windows file share. And we have other ones. If you are using an SFTP file server, that's what you're referring to and much more, right? And so we have many different file share solutions. If that is something that you are interested in, definitely reach out to us and submit the contact us form. And one of the solutions architect will be able to meet with you but understand where do you need to share it to you and point you to the right solution. Awesome. Another question is, does AWS offer grants for nonprofits to get started with hosting the website? I'd be happy to take that question. So as some of you may know, AWS does offer up to $5,000 in credits on AWS annually. So that's something that you could actually build into your budgeting cycle. It renews every July of the fiscal year. So that is certainly accessible to you today right now to get started hosting your website and doing some of the things that the brilliant Angela has walked us through today. Additionally, we have a formal grant program called the AWS Imagine Grant. I'll drop the link in the chat. And that's for nonprofits that are ready to take the next step to start doing maybe other data projects, do a migration, et cetera. So we do have funding opportunities available. And then also just through creating a relationship with us. I will say, and I see a question in the chat, what's the annual cost for a small nonprofit? Maybe Angela, you can walk people through how to go about estimating that because we know that cost is really important and you guys wanna know, but it's very, very affordable. So we can walk you through how to understand what those costs might be. There's all nonprofits are different. But yes, it's very affordable. Angela, do you wanna walk through the cost calculator and maybe how that, not a screen share but maybe how a nonprofit would go about understanding costs for a website? Yeah, so for the website, like Larkin mentioned, it varies depending on what you need, what your traffic is like. Like you saw with the light sale, right? We have a predictable rate each month, but then it depends on what level or what size of the server performance that you need. But that's true for all of our services is that we have a set rate and you can expect the cost to be what you expect it to be, right? Depending on your usage. And we also have a pricing calculator. If you Google AWS pricing calculator, it will come up and through that website, you can go to all of our services. And within each service, it'll give you a field and show you what is being taken into consideration when you get your bill, right? So for example, is it how long your server is running or is it how much you're storing within your file system? And so once you enter all of that in, it will give you an estimate as to how much it's going to cost. Now I know that can probably sound like a lot because well, if we're just starting, how do I know what services do I need to put in there and how do I know how much usage I'm going to need? And that's part of my job working with nonprofit customer is I help them build out an architecture that we say, okay, this is what you need. And then we walk through the pricing calculator together. You tell me what you expect your usage to be like, we put that in and then we talk about what is expected in terms of the cost together so that there are no surprises to you. Awesome, here's another question. Could you explain the AWS Activate program and is it available to nonprofits? So actually the AWS Activate program, if I'm thinking of the one you're mentioning is for startups. So those would be for startup organizations that are for-profits that are kind of working with the venture capital fund or another equity fund. So Activate would likely not be for nonprofit organizations, but we do, I dropped the link into the chat to the 80 risks for nonprofits credit program, which does provide credits as well as the Imagine grant. So I would recommend looking at those two for funding. However, if you are a startup organization, Activate would be something that you could explore more. Okay, one other question. Does AWS offer any support in selecting an appropriate text stat for a mobile application? Yeah, again, so that falls under my day-to-day job. I meet with customers who tell me what type of application they're trying to build, whether that is a mobile application or a web application, a chatbot, contact center. I meet with them and then I ask them for their requirements. What is their think big picture? What do they want to incorporate? And then together, we find the right services with AWS that can help you achieve that goal and we do that together. So that's definitely something that we can do. So definitely fill out a contact us form so that you can meet with either me or my colleagues, solutions architects to help you get started. I think that's it for the questions, the Q&A. If you wanna provide them with a way to contact Angela. Yeah, absolutely. And the next slide that you're doing can all have racially shared their email addresses. We're so thankful to all of you who have come to listen to these experts with respect and just kind of level up your knowledge about websites. We'd love to hear from you if you have topics you wanna see covered on the next iterations of these webinars. We've done Gen AI last time, we're doing websites this time and we want these to be useful to what's top of mind for you. So feel free to drop that in the chat. But we really thank you to Angela and Kunal. Thank you Arita for bringing us here and we hope everyone has a great day. Thank you, bye-bye everybody. Thanks everyone.
