Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a leading cloud computing subsidiary of Amazon, offering scalable on-demand computing platforms and APIs. Since its inception in 2002 (web services) and launch of cloud computing services in 2006, AWS has revolutionised the way businesses and governments manage IT infrastructure. Its services include networking, compute, storage, and software tools delivered via a global network of server farms. The flagship product, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), provides users with virtual computing clusters featuring high availability and flexibility.

Operating on a pay-as-you-go model, AWS allows customers to access computing resources without the overhead of maintaining physical hardware. Clients can customise their setups, selecting virtual or dedicated physical servers, operating systems, and additional software. Security is a shared responsibility: AWS ensures physical security of data centres, while subscribers handle account-level security and software patching. Major offerings also include Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, machine learning tools, and middleware integration.

AWS dominates the cloud computing market, holding a 31% share as of 2023. Its unmatched global footprint and infrastructure scale enable rapid deployment of large-scale computing power, making it an essential partner for businesses seeking innovation and cost efficiency. With subsidiaries like Annapurna Labs and AWS Elemental, AWS continues to expand its portfolio, cementing its leadership in cloud-based solutions.
