Understanding AWS
This page gives a clear walkthrough of AWS, what it means, how to think about it, and why it matters in real life.
What AWS really means
AWS is a major cloud platform offered by Amazon. It provides many different services that organizations can use instead of building or owning all their own infrastructure.
These services range from virtual servers and storage to databases, machine learning tools, and developer services.
AWS helps companies host applications, store files, run databases, deliver content, automate operations, and build cloud-based systems.
It supports both simple projects and very large-scale systems.
