virtual<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0cluster of computers, available all the time, through the Internet. AWS’s version of virtual computers have most of the attributes of a real computer including hardware (CPU(s) & GPU(s) for processing, local\/RAM memory, hard-disk\/SSD storage). A choice of operating systems; networking; and pre-loaded application software such as\u00c2\u00a0web servers,\u00c2\u00a0databases,\u00c2\u00a0CRM, etc. Each AWS system also virtualizes its\u00c2\u00a0console\u00c2\u00a0I\/O (keyboard, display, and mouse), allowing AWS subscribers to connect to their AWS system using a modern\u00c2\u00a0browser. The browser acts as a window into the virtual computer, letting subscribers\u00c2\u00a0log-in,\u00c2\u00a0configure\u00c2\u00a0and use their virtual systems just as they would a real physical computer. They can choose to deploy their AWS systems to provide internet-based services for their own and their customers’ benefit.<\/p>\nThe AWS technology is implemented at\u00c2\u00a0server farms\u00c2\u00a0throughout the world, and maintained by the Amazon subsidiary. Fees are based on a combination of usage, the hardware\/OS\/software\/networking features chosen by the subscriber, required\u00c2\u00a0availability,\u00c2\u00a0redundancy,\u00c2\u00a0security, and service options. Based on what the subscriber needs and pays for, they can reserve a single virtual AWS computer, a cluster of virtual computers, a physical (real) computer dedicated for their exclusive use, or even a cluster of dedicated physical computers. As part of the subscription agreement, Amazon manages, upgrades, and provides industry-standard security to each subscriber’s system. AWS operates from many global geographical regions including 6 in North America.<\/p>\n
In 2017, AWS comprised more than 90 services spanning a wide range including computin, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services, deployment, management, mobile, developer tools, and tools for the Internet of Things.\u00c2\u00a0The most popular include\u00c2\u00a0Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud\u00c2\u00a0(EC2) and\u00c2\u00a0Amazon Simple Storage Service\u00c2\u00a0(S3). Most services are not exposed directly to end users, but instead offer functionality through\u00c2\u00a0APIs\u00c2\u00a0for developers to use in their applications. Amazon Web Services\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 offerings are accessed over\u00c2\u00a0HTTP, using the\u00c2\u00a0Representational state transfer\u00c2\u00a0architectural style and\u00c2\u00a0Simple Object Access Protocol\u00c2\u00a0protocol.<\/p>\n
Amazon markets AWS to subscribers as a way of obtaining large scale computing capacity more quickly and cheaply than building an actual physical server farm.\u00c2\u00a0All services are billed based on usage, but each service measures usage in varying ways. As of 2017, AWS owns a dominant 34% of all cloud (Iaas, Paas) while the next three competitors\u00c2\u00a0Microsoft,\u00c2\u00a0Google, and\u00c2\u00a0IBM\u00c2\u00a0have 11%, 8%, 6% respectively according to Synergy Group.<\/p>\n
