What is AWS and what are the main components of AWS ?

Amazon provides cloud computing with AWS. You can create, test, release, and manage applications and services using AWS. All of this is accomplished using Amazon-managed data centers and hardware.


AWS provides you a combination of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings.

What is AWS ?

AWS stands for Amazon Web Services . It is a service offered by Amazon that makes use of a distributed IT infrastructure to deliver various IT resources as needed. It offers a variety of services, including platform as a service, infrastructure as a service, and software as a service.

Amazon offers a comprehensive and dynamic cloud computing platform called Amazon Web Services (AWS). In the past, the plant would often construct an energy plant and use it for internal purposes.

Components of AWS

Here are few components of  AWS : 

  • Simple Storage Service: S3 is a service of aws that stores the files. It is object-based storage, i.e., you can store the images, word files, pdf files, etc. The size of the file that can be stored in S3 is from 0 Bytes to 5 TB. It is an unlimited storage medium, i.e., you can store the data as much you want. S3 contains a bucket which stores the files. A bucket is like a folder that stores the files. It is a universal namespace, i.e., name must be unique globally. Each bucket must have a unique name to generate the unique DNS address.

  • Elastic Compute Cloud: Elastic Compute Cloud is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. You can scale the compute capacity up and down as per the computing requirement changes. It changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for the resources that you actually use.
  • Elastic Block Store: It provides a persistent block storage volume for use with EC2 instances in aws cloud. EBS volume is automatically replicated within its availability zone to prevent the component failure. It offers high durability, availability, and low-latency performance required to run your workloads.
  • CloudWatch: It is a service which is used to monitor all the AWS resources and applications that you run in real time. It collects and tracks the metrics that measure your resources and applications.
  • Identity Access Management: It is a service of aws used to manage users and their level of access to the aws management console. It is used to set users, permissions, and roles. It allows you to grant permission to the different parts of the aws platform.
  • Simple Email Service: Amazon Simple Email Service is a cloud-based email sending service that helps digital marketers and application developers to send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. This service is very reliable and cost-effective for the businesses of all the sizes that want to keep in touch with the customers.
  • Route53: It is a highly available and scalable DNS (Domain Name Service) service. It provides a reliable and cost-effective way for the developers and businesses to route end users to internet applications by translating domain names into numeric IP addresses.
You can use some plugins to connect with amazon AWS. There are so many plugins but in my opinion Next3Offload is the best plugin for amazon AWS service like offload media to AWS.
