Day 38 Getting Started with AWS Basics

AWS:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive cloud computing platform offered by Amazon that provides a wide range of services and tools for building and managing cloud-based applications and infrastructure. AWS offers a broad set of infrastructure services, such as computing power, storage options, and networking capabilities, as well as higher-level application services, such as databases, analytics, and machine learning. AWS enables organizations to quickly and easily deploy and manage their applications in a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective way, without having to invest in and maintain their own infrastructure. AWS is used by millions of customers worldwide, ranging from startups and small businesses to large enterprises and government agencies.

IAM:

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. With IAM, you can centrally manage permissions that control which AWS resources users can access.
