Hey!

It's Mubashir Ibrahim, aka Mubi. It is 2022 and AWS is getting so popular nowadays, but still some of the College and University Students like me🌚 still don’t know that “What is AWS (Amazon Web Services)”? So let's explore the Basic Definition of AWS and why it is getting so popular nowadays.

Now here comes the Definition from Google and other sources: -

“AWS provides servers, storage, networking, remote computing, email, mobile development, and security.”

Still doesn’t get it🤔? The AWS is basically a cloud provider–from infrastructure technologies like computing, storage, and databases–to emerging technologies, such as ML and AI, data lakes and analytics, and the IoT.
