Real World AWS for Everyone

Amazon offers a comprehensive portfolio of public cloud services. The options cover the spectrum from IaaS, to PaaS, to SaaS to managed services.

In all, Amazon Web Services (AWS) [1] offers well over 50 cloud services, roughly divided into categories such as data processing and storage, database, and migration [2]. Amazon's services are similar to Lego bricks; you can combine them using a simple management console GUI to build virtual networks with different properties. You can also churn up Amazon services through a command-line interface or trigger them programmatically using the provided APIs.
