What Is AWS Exactly?
AWS is made up of many different cloud computing products and services. The highly profitable division of Amazon provides servers, storage, networking, remote computing, email, mobile development, and security. AWS can be broken into three main products: EC2, Amazon’s virtual machine service, Glacier, a low-cost cloud storage service, and S3, Amazon’s storage system.
Why do Big Industries Like Netflix, Hotstar, EPIC Games and Many more Use AWS..?
Due to the below reasons, AWS is the leading cloud platform
1) Most functionality.
AWS has significantly more services, and more features within those services, than any other cloud provider–from infrastructure technologies like compute, storage, and databases–to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things. This makes it faster, easier, and more cost-effective to move your existing applications to the cloud and build nearly anything you can imagine.
AWS also has the deepest functionality within those services. For example, AWS offers the widest variety of databases that are purpose-built for different applications, so you can choose the right tool for the job to get the best cost and performance.
2) The largest community of customers and partners.
AWS has the largest and most dynamic community, with millions of active customers and tens of thousands of partners globally. Customers across virtually every industry and of every size, including startups, enterprises, and public sector organizations, are running every imaginable use case on AWS. The AWS Partner Network (APN) includes thousands of systems integrators who specialize in AWS services and tens of thousands of independent software vendors (ISVs) who adapt their technology to work on AWS.
3) Most secure.
AWS is architected to be the most flexible and secure cloud computing environment available today. Our core infrastructure is built to satisfy the security requirements of the military, global banks, and other high-sensitivity organizations. This is backed by a deep set of cloud security tools, with over 300+ security, compliance, and governance services and features. AWS supports 100+ security standards and compliance certifications, and all 120+ AWS services that store customer data offer the ability to encrypt that data.
4) Fastest pace of innovation.
With AWS, you can leverage the latest technologies to experiment and innovate more quickly. We are continually accelerating our pace of innovation to invent entirely new technologies you can use to transform your business. For example, in 2014, AWS pioneered the Serverless computing space with the launch of AWS Lambda, which lets developers run their code without provisioning or managing servers.
5) Most proven operational expertise.
AWS has unmatched experience, maturity, reliability, security, and performance that you can depend upon for your most important applications. For over 16+ years, AWS has been delivering cloud services to millions of customers around the world running a wide variety of use cases. AWS has the most operational experience, at a greater scale, of any cloud provider.

Third Way: Create mobile applications.
Now your web presence is up and running but what about your phone presence? AWS can take care of it. Configure features for your apps by developing user authentication, data storage, backend logic, push notifications, content delivery, and analytics. And after creating your apps, AWS also allows you to test your apps on real devices so you can improve app performance.
Fourth Way: Expand your storage.
AWS offers storage services that give you access to whatever amount of storage you need. You can control who has access to the storage and use the services to build big data, analytics, transcoding, and archive applications.
Fifth Way: Build big data.
As your company grows, you may need a big data application to support your data's volume, velocity, and variety. Fortunately, AWS offers services that allow you to quickly scale any big data application including data warehousing, clickstream analytics, fraud detection, recommendation engines, Serverless computing, and internet-of-things processing. The best part is you can access as many of these resources as you need and only pay for what you end up using. The best example of HOTSTAR.
