About AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers worldwide. Launched in 2006, AWS provides on-demand cloud computing resources and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Core services include EC2 for scalable compute, S3 for object storage, RDS for managed databases, Lambda for serverless computing, and EKS/ECS for container orchestration. AWS also leads in AI/ML services with SageMaker for model training, Bedrock for foundation models, and over a dozen specialized AI services for vision, language, and speech.

AWS offers the largest selection of compute instance types, with Graviton4-powered instances delivering up to 40% better price-performance than comparable x86 instances. The platform spans 34 geographic regions with over 100 availability zones, providing the infrastructure to deploy applications globally with low latency.

Enterprise features include AWS Organizations for multi-account management, Control Tower for governance, and a comprehensive security suite with IAM, GuardDuty, and Security Hub. AWS offers Savings Plans and Reserved Instances that can reduce costs by up to 72% compared to on-demand pricing.
