Page 1 of 3 — AWS (Amazon Web Services) — Overview & Core Concepts
What is AWS?
AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a cloud computing platform that provides many online
services — like virtual servers, storage, databases, networking, and tools — so people
and companies can run applications without owning physical servers.
Why use AWS?
- Scalability: You can increase or decrease resources quickly.
- Pay-as-you-go: You pay only for what you use.
- Reliability: AWS runs in many data centers, so apps stay up.
- Security: AWS provides strong security features.
Core service categories:
1. Compute — EC2, Lambda
2. Storage — S3, EBS
3. Databases — RDS, DynamoDB
4. Networking — VPC, Load Balancers
5. Security & Identity — IAM, encryption
6. Deployment & Management — CloudWatch, autoscaling
Use cases: Hosting, storage, backups, analytics, machine learning, mobile backends.
