Description:
We all know Amazon.com is the largest e-commerce marketplace and cloud computing platform in the world as measured by revenue and market capitalization, but beyond the prime 2-day loving shopper what else does Amazon offer? Amazon Web Services, or AWS!
Amazon Web Services (AWS), a cloud solution that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis.
AWS is a subsidiary of Amazon. The technology allows users to provision servers, manage users, write code without the worry of infrastructure and much more.
