3. What is cloud computing?
Cloud Computing is defined as storing and accessing of data and computing
services over the internet. It doesn’t store any data on your personal computer. It
is the on-demand availability of computer services like servers, data storage,
networking, databases, etc. The main purpose of cloud computing is to give
access to data centers to many users. Users can also access data from a remote
server.
Examples of Cloud Computing Services: AWS, Azure, GCP

6. AWS History
The origins of AWS as a developer tool can be traced all the way back to 2002 when an
initial beta was released (named Amazon.com Web Service) that offered SOAP and
XML interfaces for the Amazon product catalogue 1.
In 2006, AWS was officially launched with two core services: Amazon Elastic Compute
Cloud (EC2), which allows users to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers,
and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), which provides online storage space.
Amazon had almost 180,000 developers sign up in 2007.
Amazon.com’s retail web services were transferred to AWS in 2010, therefore
Amazon.com is currently running on AWS.
Since then, Amazon has expanded its portfolio of services and regions and has
attracted millions of customers from startups to enterprises to public sector
organizations.

8. AWS Fundamentals
AWS is a cloud computing platform that provides various services that can be
used to build and deploy applications on the Internet. AWS allows users to access
these services through web-based interfaces, command-line tools, or software
development kits (SDKs). AWS have more than 200 Fully featured Services.
Users can choose from a wide range of services that cover different aspects of
cloud computing like as follow
Compute, Storage, Networking, Middleware, IOT and Other

10. AWS Global Infrastructure
● Amazon operates from many global geographical regions including seven in North
America.
● Each region consists of multiple isolated locations called availability zones (AZs),
which are connected by low-latency links.
● Each AZ contains one or more data centers that house the servers and hardware
that run the AWS services.
● Users can choose which region and AZ they want to use for their applications and
data, depending on factors such as latency, cost, compliance, and redundancy.
● Users can also leverage services such as Amazon CloudFront and Global
Accelerator to distribute their content and traffic across multiple regions.
