AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS), launched in 2006, began providing critical infrastructure services to businesses in the form of Web services, now widely known as cloud computing. The ultimate benefit of cloud computing and AWS is the ability to leverage new business models and transform capital infrastructure expenditures into variable costs. Businesses no longer need to plan and procure servers and other IT resources weeks or months in advance. With AWS, businesses can access resources using Amazon's expertise and economies of scale when needed, delivering results faster and at a lower cost.
