Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s leading cloud computing platform. It provides services such as data storage, computing power, databases, and networking — all through the internet.
AWS enables businesses and organizations to develop applications, store data, and manage their infrastructure with flexibility, security, and without investing in physical equipment.
In simple terms, what AWS offers:
- Computing power, without a computer: Run applications and programs through the internet without needing your own servers.
- Online file storage: Store files, documents, or databases securely and access them from anywhere.
- Data organization: Easily create and manage databases without the need for specialized software.
- Cloud networking: Connect your services securely and quickly, as if you had your own internal network.
