Why is AWS used?

In this tutorial, we will learn what AWS (Amazon Web Services) is and why one must use it. We will also be taking a look at the benefits of using Amazon Web Services.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the cloud platform offered by Amazon.com Inc (AMZN). AWS is made up of many different cloud computing products and services. It offers everything from servers, storage, and computing right up to mobile development, email, networking, and security. AWS offers three main products –

1. Amazon’s storage system called S3
2. A cost-effective cloud storage service called Glacier
3. Amazon’s virtual machine service called EC2


Following are the benefits of using AWS –

• It is Easy to use
AWS is meant to let application providers, ISVs, and vendors host their applications rapidly and securely, whether they are existing or new SaaS-based apps. To gain access to AWS's application hosting platform, you can make use of the AWS Management Console or different web services APIs.

• It is Flexible
AWS gives you the flexibility to choose your OS, programming language, web application platform, database, and other services. AWS provides a virtual environment in which you can deploy the programs and services required by your application. This facilitates the migration of existing apps while still allowing for the creation of new ones.

• It is Secure
AWS uses an end-to-end approach to secure and fortify the infrastructure, including physical, operational, and software safeguards.

• It is Cost-Effective
There are no long-term commitments or upfront costs, and you only pay for the computing power, storage, and other resources that you use.

• It is scalable and performs well.
Using AWS technologies such as Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing, your application may scale up or down based on demand. Because of Amazon's huge infrastructure, you have access to processing and storage resources whenever you need them.

• It is Reliable
With AWS, you have access to a worldwide computing infrastructure that has been honed for over a decade.
