The document discusses using a graphical user interface (GUI) to manage virtual private servers (VPS) hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It mentions using the AWS Management Console GUI to access and manage AWS resources like Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, Relational Database Service (RDS), Simple Storage Service (S3), and Route 53 domain name system (DNS) services. The GUI provides a way to configure and monitor these AWS services through a web browser interface rather than direct access to the AWS application programming interface (API).
