AWS, or Amazon Web Services, is a comprehensive cloud computing platform provided by Amazon. It offers a wide range of services, including computing power, storage options, and databases, allowing businesses to scale and grow without the need for physical infrastructure. With AWS, users can access resources on-demand, paying only for what they use. This flexibility makes it suitable for startups, large enterprises, and everything in between. AWS also provides tools for machine learning, analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT), enabling organizations to innovate and improve their operations efficiently.
