What is AWS?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a leading public cloud provider offering a range of services, including cloud computing, storage, networking, Big Data, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning. These services enable the creation of applications, Big Data analysis, and more, making advanced cloud technology accessible to all. Many businesses in Thailand prefer AWS for their digital transformation needs, leveraging services like computing, DevOps, Big Data, AI, and machine learning to save on investments. Founded by Jeff Bezos in 2006, AWS was created to revolutionize the digital age with its innovative cloud solutions.

AWS provides a comprehensive cloud service that includes over 200 tools covering various aspects such as computing, storage, databases, networking, content delivery, analytics, machine learning, security, identity, and compliance. This allows organizations to rent and use the services they require according to their specific needs. With AWS, organizations can develop web applications or sophisticated Big Data systems using the necessary infrastructure and tools that cater to diverse requirements comprehensively. Even smaller and less complex systems can be managed independently, without requiring expert assistance. Many organizations, irrespective of their size, value one of the key a dvantages that AWS offers - a marketplace of 3rd party tools that can be seamlessly integrated, similar to what Apple did with the App Store. This makes the AWS ecosystem the largest and most extensive in the market.

AWS operates on a Pay As You Go billing model. Customers are only charged for the services they use, and if the system is shut down or not in use, no payment is required. This model eliminates the need to predict peak usage times or pay for fixed-cost services, allowing customers to scale usage up or down as needed without delay.
