Origins of AWS
In 2006, AWS was launched to rethink IT infrastructure completely, so that anyone—even a kid in a college dorm room—could access the same powerful technology as the world’s largest and most sophisticated companies. Since those early days, we’ve never stopped inventing on behalf of our customers—from storage to compute, databases to custom silicon and advanced generative AI services.
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources over the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining physical data centers and servers, you can access technology services, such as computing power, storage, and databases, on an as-needed basis from a cloud provider like AWS.
Our products
