Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the most comprehensive and widely adopted cloud platforms, offering a wide range of infrastructure
services and cloud-based products. AWS enables businesses to host applications, store data, and scale their operations without needing to
invest in physical hardware or maintain an on-premises data center.

Key Concepts:
Cloud Computing: AWS provides on-demand cloud computing services, enabling businesses to pay only for what they use without upfront
investments.
Scalability: AWS offers scalable solutions that allow businesses to grow as their needs evolve, with the ability to scale resources up or down
based on demand.
Global Reach: AWS has a global infrastructure with data centers located across various geographic regions, allowing for high availability, low
latency, and fault tolerance.

Core AWS Services:


EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud): Provides scalable virtual machines (instances) to run applications.
S3 (Simple Storage Service): A highly scalable object storage service for storing and retrieving data.
RDS (Relational Database Service): Managed relational databases for workloads such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle.
Lambda: A serverless compute service that automatically runs code in response to events.

Importance:

AWS has revolutionized how businesses approach IT infrastructure, offering flexibility, cost-efficiency, and ease of use. It is an essential
platform for organizations looking to scale, innovate, and maintain high uptime with minimal investment in physical hardware.
