What Is Amazon Web Service

Amazon Web Services is a collection of cloud computing-based services provided by Amazon since 2002. Even though we often know this giant internet company for buying books and songs, now Amazon has added its services in terms of cloud computing infrastructure. Amazon Web Services provides services that are integrated with each other and easy to customize. In 2006, Amazon introduced Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) as a commercial web service that provides cloud access to companies and individuals to rent computer storage that can be used as an online application development platform. This was the beginning of IaaS, namely companies that provide infrastructure as a a service.

Most services are not exposed directly to end users, but instead offer functionality via APIs for developers to use in their applications. Amazon Web Services offerings are accessible via HTTP, using the architectural style of REST and SOAP protocols for older APIs and exclusively JSON for newer ones.

AWS Technology Implementation

Amazon.com was previously better known for its online bookstore. However, several years ago (around 2005), Amazon developed itself into AWS (Amazon Web Service) which provides cloud computing services, where every function in it can be accessed by calling a Web Service. The Web Service protocols used are SOAP and REST. A very important concept in Amazon Web Services (AWS) is instances. Using a technique called virtualization, users can develop their applications on a variety of hardware in a manner similar to when application development is done on a single machine.
