Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a powerhouse in the cloud computing world, offering a wide range of services that cater to different needs, from web hosting, storage and databases to artificial intelligence.

Compute Services
  • EC2 - Provides scalable computing capacity in the cloud. It reduces the need for upfront hardware investments and allows you to develop and deploy applications faster.
  • Lambda - Lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume, making it cost-effective for applications with varying usage.
Storage Solutions
  • S3 - Offers scalability, data availability, security, and performance for object storage. It's used for archiving, data backup, and as a storage for applications.
  • EBS - Provides block-level storage volumes for persistent data storage when using EC2 instances.
Database Services
  • RDS - Simplifies setup, operation, and scaling of relational databases in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient resizable capacity while automating time-consuming administration tasks.
  • DynamoDB - A fast and flexible NoSQL database service for applications that need consistent, single-digit millisecond latency at any scale.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
  • SageMaker - Provides every developer and data scientist with the ability to build, train, and deploy machine learning models quickly.
  • Rekognition - Makes it easy to add image and video analysis to your applications, using proven, highly scalable, deep learning technology without requiring machine learning expertise.
