What is AWS
AWS, or Amazon Web Service, is a cloud platform that offers several on-demand operations to help corporate companies scale and grow. It has become a giant component of Amazon’s business portfolio and is a frontrunner to other cloud computing platforms.
AWS is made from different cloud computing products and services. It provides servers, storage, networking, remote computing, email, mobile development, and security. It can be broken into three main products:
- EC2: Amazon’s virtual machine service
- Glacier: a low-cost cloud storage service
- S3: Amazon’s storage system
