What is AWS(Amazon Web Services) and How does it work?

What is AWS and how can it help me?

To understand AWS let me give you an example to help you understand it better :

Rishabh is a vendor and has an online store to sell Electronic Products.

On normal days his Online Shop is working just fine and he is able to sell products online with an average number of users visiting his Website.

Soon his website became very popular and more visitors started coming to his website to buy more products online.

Rishabh noticed that his website performance has started decreasing slowly and it took a long time to provide service or open a webpage. As more visitors started visiting his website a huge load occurred on the website server and it crashed. The servers were unable to handle big traffic coming to the website. Due to the server failure, Rishabh started to lose his online business and was very sad.

Then he asked his friends if there is a way where:

• You can scale the servers when the user traffic size grows,
• Improve the performance and speed of the website without much web developer support,
• Improve the Website Security to prevent hacking and malware attacks.

And one of his friends replied with yes, the solution to all his problems is to use AWS Web Services.

AWS stands for Amazon Web Services. It is one of the largest comprehensive cloud computing platforms that can be used for large, medium, or small-scale businesses. More than 60% of businesses around the world are using AWS Cloud Services. As of 2021 AWS has more than 200 products and services such as computing, storage system, security, disaster management, deployment, and many more potential services that you can utilize and easily integrate with your business.

Now let us dive deep and see what and how AWS works?

Amazon launched AWS(Amazon Web Services) in early 2002  by Jeff Bezos (Founder) to allow other businesses and organizations to take benefits and advantages of Cloud Computing Platform. In 2004 AWS releases Simple Queue Service and is one of the oldest offerings provided till now.  In 2006 AWS officially started with IT(Information Technology) services that were known as Cloud Computing(Web Services).  By 2007 AWS has more than 1,800,00 developers and users across the world that are happy to use various services of AWS.

In 2010, releases many new services like Simple Email Service, Route 53 (DNS), AWS Cloud Formation and announced AMAZON.COM has migrated its retail web services to AWS.

By 2015 AWS sales profit peaked at $1.57 Billion which was the fastest-growing $5 Billion Business.

AWS is a secure  Cloud Computing Platform. AWS has a concept of “PAY AS YOU GO”. AWS provides a large pool of services to its users and use them only when it is required and scale the usage according to the requirement of the business. This way users don’t have to worry about long-term commitment and upfront complete payment. Providing AWS services to the client is the highest priority for AWS.

You can develop and deploy the environment in minutes
