About AWS

In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering on-demand IT infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services with pay-as-you-go pricing. Today, AWS provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in countries around the world. Using AWS, businesses no longer need to plan for and procure servers and other IT infrastructure weeks or months in advance. Instead, they can instantly spin up hundreds or thousands of servers in minutes and deliver results faster. Offering over 175 fully featured services from data centers globally, AWS gives you the ability to take advantage of a broad set of global cloud-based products including compute, storage, databases, networking, security, analytics, mobile, developer tools, management tools, IoT, and enterprise applications. AWS's rapid pace of innovation allows you to focus in on what's most important to you and your end users without the undifferentiated heavy lifting.
