Amazon Web Services (AWS) Overview

AWS is primarily a Infrastructure as a Cloud (IaaS) delivery model. Anyone can create an account to use the free tier with AWS from here. Many features in the below dashboard are available with the free tier.


Amazon Web Services uses an IaaS delivery model with a bunch of services for computer, storage, databases, networking, analytics and application services. Below are some of the most popular services (each is a web service) from AWS that I would like to explore in this blog -


  • Compute
    • EC2
  • Storage
    • S3
    • CDN
  • Database
    • RDS
  • Networking
    • VPC
  • DNS
    • Route53
  • Security and Access
    • IAM
I will share some live demos as well via video covering above topics. I might touch on other services as well as we go along.
