Amazon Web Services (AWS)
AWS has more services—and more features within those services—than any other cloud provider. The AWS cloud platform offers over 165 fully featured services, including more than 40 services that aren’t offered by any other major cloud provider. AWS provides services for a broad range of applications including:
- Compute
- Storage
- Databases
- Networking
- Analytics
- Machine learning
- Artificial intelligence (AI)
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Security
- Application development, deployment, and management
The services offered by AWS feature some of the deepest functionality in the industry. For example, Amazon EC2 offers more types and sizes of compute instances than any other provider, including the most powerful GPU instances for machine learning workloads. AWS also provides customers with an unmatched number of database services, including eleven relational and non-relational database offerings. Finally, AWS broadly supports container orchestration through Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS), and AWS Fargate.
