Amazon Web Services is a secure cloud services platform offering nearly everything businesses need to build sophisticated applications with flexibility, scalability, and reliability. It is a pay-as-you-go billing model with no upfront or capital costs. Amazon offers nearly 100 on demand services and that list is growing daily. Implementation is nearly instantaneous, available with minimal setup.
- Amazon EC2 - Providing secure compute capacity in the cloud, EC2 is resettable based on the user’s requirements. For instance, in a scenario in which web traffic varies, this service can expand its environment, behind the scenes, to three instances when required and then shrink to just one resource when load decreases.
- Amazon Elastic Beanstalk - Made with a number of programming languages, this service helps scale and deploy web applications. Simply upload the code and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment from capacity provisioning to load balancing to auto-scaling to application health monitoring.
- Amazon Lightsail -Simple to launch and manage, Amazon Lightsail is a virtual private server and includes everything needed to quickly launch a project on a virtual machine, like SSD-based storage, tools for data transfer, DNS management and a static IP.
- Amazon Lambda - Lambda allows companies to run code with no need for provisioning and managing servers. It scales automatically from a few requests per day to thousands per second. Companies only pay for the compute times used; there is no charge when the code is not running.
