Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s leading and widely used cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers worldwide. AWS provides a secure cloud computing platform that delivers a variety of services such as computing power, databases, networking, content storage, and more.
Here are some real-world examples of AWS cloud computing:
Real-time Data Streaming and Analytics:
AWS real-time data streaming services enable you to collect, process, analyze, and deliver continuous streaming data at scale to your real-time applications and analytics solutions. For instance, Hearst built a clickstream analytics solution using Amazon Kinesis to transmit and process 30 terabytes of data a day from 300+ Hearst websites worldwide.
Website Monitoring using AWS Lambda and Aurora: This project involves monitoring website performance and availability using AWS Lambda, which lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers, and Amazon Aurora, a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud.
Big Data Project on AWS: In this project, you learn how to run an Apache Flink Python application for a real-time streaming platform using Amazon Kinesis.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2):
EC2 enables users to rent virtual computing resources to run their applications. This service is fundamental to enterprise-level applications.
These examples illustrate how AWS can be used in various scenarios, from data streaming and website monitoring to big data projects and virtual computing resources.
