AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a comprehensive, evolving and secure cloud computing platform provided by Amazon that includes a mixture of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) offering. AWS offers compute power, database storage, content delivery and other functionality to help businesses scale and grow. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon providing on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies and governments on a pay-as-you-go basis.
AWS launched in 2006 from the internal infrastructure that Amazon.com built to handle its online retail operations. These cloud computing web services provide a variety of basic abstract technical infrastructure and distributed computing building blocks and tools. AWS was one of the first companies to introduce a pay-as-you-go cloud computing model that scales to provide users with compute, storage or throughput as needed. One of these services is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), which allows users to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers, available all the time through the Internet.
AWS offers many different tools and solutions for enterprises and software developers that can be used in data centers in up to 190 countries. Several companies around the world use AWS’s services, such as Docker, Kellog’s, NASA, McDonald’s, BMW, Harvard Medical School, and Adobe, to name a few. The AWS Cloud spans 81 Availability Zones within 25 geographic regions around the world, with announced plans for 21 more Availability Zones and 7 more AWS Regions in Australia, India, Indonesia, Israel, Spain, Switzerland, and United Arab Emirates (UAE).
