Most companies are moving or have already moved from on-premise solutions to the cloud. One of the leaders providing cloud services is Amazon with Amazon Web Services. It is the world's most widespread cloud computing platform for delivering online services that can be accessed over the Internet worldwide and do not require user management or resource tracking. Users have complete control over their data and can make changes anytime, anywhere.
Basic AWS services include Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) – computing power and Simple Storage Service (S3) – cloud storage. You will also find a virtual private cloud (Virtual Private Cloud - VPC), similar to a classic private network (VPN).
Security is one of the most significant advantages of Amazon's cloud. In addition to the above, it enables monitoring of API activity, firewall control or threat detection and tracking. It also offers services for artificial intelligence, enabling process automation or traffic analytics, which you can use, for example, to prepare a tailored user offer or predict demand. There is also support for AR and IoT.
