AWS computer services overview

In this section, we’ll explore the broad range of services offered by AWS, focusing on their integration with Python. AWS provides a rich ecosystem of cloud services, from computing power to storage solutions, each tailored for specific use cases. Understanding these services and their applications is crucial for developing efficient, scalable cloud-based applications in Python.

Using the correct AWS services can be overwhelming because there are so many options. Think of it as a menu of different services that Amazon’s cloud computing offers, sorted into categories based on what they can do for you:

Compute: Think of it as the brain, where you can rent Amazon’s computers to run your apps or code. The following services provide computational power:
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
- AWS Lambda (an event-driven serverless computing platform)
Storage and content delivery: This is like a digital storage unit for keeping...
