Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon that provides a massive array of on-demand cloud services to individuals, companies and governments across the world. AWS consists of more than 150 services, including computing, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services and deployment, as well as a number of tools to aid developers. Most services are not directly available to users, but instead offer functionality through APIs, which developers can use in their applications.
