What to look for in a AWS freelancer
A strong AWS expert should understand the services you actually need and how they fit together, not just hold a certification. Look for:
- Hands-on depth in core services: EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, and Lambda.
- Infrastructure as code: Terraform or CloudFormation, so your setup is repeatable and reviewable.
- A security-first mindset, from least-privilege IAM roles to encryption at rest and in transit.
- Real cost awareness, knowing where money leaks and how to plug it.
- Experience at your scale, whether that is a single app or a multi-account organization.
Ask a candidate how they would cut a bloated AWS bill without breaking anything. The specifics in their answer reveal real production experience fast.
