Amazon Web Services [AWS]

Question

What actually AWS is? and how to learn to use it?

Answer 1

AWS is a LOT of things. Your best bet is to go directly to their website and check it out. I haven't used all of the stuff AWS offers, but I've used some of their cloud VPS' (lightsail) before and had a good experience with it. From what I've used through them, I'd feel confident in recommending them.

Answer 4

You're more than welcome Jorvis. lol Was a pain but I got all of them listed for you. Again, you'll want to investigate each one, as they're all different and serve different purposes. AWS is a great set of services imo; worth learning / using.

Answer 5

There's a lot of breathing room in their free tier, they have premade images (so you can set up a coding stack) and they have virtualized network equipment too.

For a unique (marginally related) detail, I used their service to work through most of Hurricane Electric's IPv6 certification (you couldn't get the very last tests done though; AWS managed DNS is slightly incompatible)

Answer 6

Kirk brings up an excellent point. I forgot they had the free-tier stuff so you can get your feet wet with a lot of their services. Worth checking out before you decide to purchase anything.

Answer 7

Scroll to the bottom of the main page and you'll see all of the categories, each one with multiple services listed under it. Or at the top hover over Product, and you'll see all of them. You'll see why I told you to go to the website instead; too many things there for me to list or describe here.

Answer 8

@KirkSchafer Thanks for answering my doubt.

Answer 9

okay... I will check out their website.

Answer 10

yeah! I understand... currently I'm checking out their website.

Thanks for answering my question.

Answer 11

WOW!!! you really listed them for me.

Thanks a Ton!! 🙋🙋

Answer 12

yeah! I will go through the documentation as mentioned by you!
☺

Answer 13

Okay, that's something great to know that there are free services too before going into premium.

Answer 14

Amazon Web Services is a subsidiary of Amazon.com that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms to individuals, companies and governments, on a paid subscription basis. It is basically a public cloud which anyone can utilize. It has many pros (accessibility, cost savings) but also cons (Disaster Recovery! especially if you're storing your business data there. Check out Cloudendure instead).
