Amazon Web Services is a comprehensive cloud computing platform offering over a broad range of infrastructure and platform services including compute, storage, networking, databases, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, security, and developer tools. Organizations of all sizes use AWS to build, deploy, and scale applications without managing physical hardware.

AWS operates a global infrastructure spanning 39 geographic regions and 123 Availability Zones, enabling customers to run workloads close to their end users with high availability and fault tolerance. The platform supports industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to media, healthcare, finance, and government.

The platform provides managed services for containers, serverless computing, data warehousing, content delivery, and IoT, allowing development teams to focus on building products rather than managing underlying systems. AWS also offers purpose-built machine learning and generative AI services, including foundation model access and agentic AI tooling, integrated directly into the cloud environment.

AWS serves a global community of startups, enterprises, and public sector organizations. Customers include companies such as Pinterest, Mercedes-Benz, Condé Nast, Blue Origin, and others across diverse verticals. Training resources, architecture guidance, a partner network, and a marketplace of third-party software further extend the platform's capabilities.
