What is AWS?
AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a leading cloud computing
platform, offering on-demand computing, storage, and various
services, allowing businesses to scale, innovate, and host
applications in a cost-effective and flexible environment.
AWS primarily provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and a
variety of other cloud computing services.

Cloud Computing Models
Cloud computing involves the delivery of computing services over the internet.
Three main service models: IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
Provides virtualized computing resources over the internet.
AWS Examples: Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) for scalable virtual servers, Amazon S3 for scalable object storage.
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS):
Offers a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without dealing with the complexity of
infrastructure.
AWS Example: AWS Elastic Beanstalk for deploying and managing applications.
3. Software as a Service (SaaS):
Delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis.
AWS Example: Amazon WorkMail for email and calendar services.

provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that distributes incoming application
traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, in multiple availability
zones. It operates at the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model.
