What is Amazon Web Services?

Technology is advancing, transforming the systems of living and communicating, creating a number of intangible and invisible products.

An example of this is cloud information storage platforms, which serve to prevent large amounts of information from being uploaded to our device, such as our computer and mobile phones.

One of the world's largest cloud server networks is the Amazon Web Service (AWS), which collapsed today, October 20.

What is Amazon Web Services (AWS)?

Amazon Web Services is a cloud service provider that allows us to access storage, computing resources, mobile applications, databases, etc., through cloud computing , that is, a mode of computer resources via the Internet that is in line with demand and generally uses a payment model based on use.

So AWS allows storage without the user having to make major investments in infrastructure. By paying for the service monthly, the contractor would have access to a database to process the information it wants.

Why is AWS so important?

Amazon Web Services is located in 190 countries around the world, with a total ofmore than 10,000 users , all dependent on the services of this provider for the proper functioning of their daily lives.

So, obviously,  is one of the largest and most important cloud server networks in the world, with a largepresence inthe  market around the world.
