Amazon AWS is a cloud services platform offered by Amazon. It provides a variety of computing, storage, databases, analytics, and more. Companies use AWS to host their applications, store data, perform analytics, and much more, without needing to invest in physical hardware. The main idea is that you can rent computing resources and pay only for what you use, instead of buying and managing your own infrastructure. This allows scalability, flexibility, and cost savings for companies of all sizes.
