AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a cloud computing platform offered by Amazon.com. It provides a wide range of cloud services and solutions to help individuals and businesses build and deploy applications, store and analyze data, and scale their infrastructure.

AWS has a global presence with data centers located in various regions around the world. This allows users to select the region closest to their operations for optimal performance and compliance with data residency requirements.

On the AWS website, you can also access the AWS Management Console, which is a web-based interface for managing and interacting with your AWS resources. The console provides a user-friendly interface to manage services, configure settings, monitor usage, and access various tools and features.

AWS offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model, where you only pay for the specific services and resources you use. The pricing structure can vary depending on factors such as service usage, data transfer, storage, and instance types. The AWS website provides detailed pricing information for each service, including a pricing calculator to estimate costs based on your usage patterns.
