Introduction to Amazon Web Services

While most of us think of Amazon as a retailer, their web services actually account for the bulk of the tech giant's profits. Many internet services we use daily are being run on Amazon's various data centers around the world. Today, AWS is the most broadly adopted cloud platform in the world.

AWS is made up of various services. A service can be vaguely thought of as a cloud-based solution to some technical problems, such as database management, machine learning, or computation. As of this writing, AWS has over 175 unique services, but luckily for us, we will only need to use a few.

Rather than explain upfront what all these services are and do, let's start instead by signing up for an AWS account and learn as we go.
