Cloud Infrastructure Delhi NCR — AWS & Azure Setup Guide 2026

Cloud Infrastructure Delhi NCR — AWS vs Azure vs GCP 2026

Cloud adoption in Delhi NCR crossed 70% in 2026. However, most companies migrated infrastructure without proper architecture review, resulting in overspending, security gaps, and compliance risks. Done right, cloud reduces costs and improves reliability.

Common Delhi Cloud Mistakes

Over-Provisioning
Most Delhi companies default to on-demand instances. Reserved Instances cost 40% less for the same capacity — a difference of Rs. 15,000-50,000 monthly for a mid-sized company.

Wrong Region Selection
RBI mandates NBFC data remain in India. DPDP Act requires Indian personal data to stay within India unless approved for cross-border transfer. AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1) or Azure India Central must be used — not US or Europe regions.

Security Misconfiguration
Open S3 buckets, wide-open security groups, unused IAM credentials — these are the leading causes of cloud data breaches for Delhi SMEs without dedicated security teams.

AWS Recommendations for Delhi Businesses

For Delhi NBFCs
- AWS Mumbai region (ap-south-1) for data residency compliance
- RDS PostgreSQL with Multi-AZ for loan database — 99.99% uptime
- S3 with server-side encryption for document storage (KYC documents)
- CloudTrail for complete audit trail (RBI requirement)
- WAF to protect loan portal from web attacks

For Delhi Startups
- Start small: t3.medium EC2 + RDS db.t3.medium is sufficient for 0-10,000 users
- Use Elastic Beanstalk or ECS to simplify deployment
- Set billing alerts at Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 20,000 to avoid surprise bills

For Delhi Enterprises
- AWS Control Tower for multi-account governance
- AWS Direct Connect for low-latency hybrid connectivity from Delhi offices
- AWS Config for continuous compliance monitoring

#

Azure for Delhi Enterprises

- Azure Active Directory integration with existing Microsoft infrastructure
- Azure DevOps for CI/CD pipelines
- Microsoft 365 + Azure = unified identity and security management
- Azure India Central + South regions for redundancy
