Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the cloud platform, and it’s the world’s most comprehensive, broadly adopted, popular, reliable, secured, scalable and easy-to-use cloud services available on the planet. It provides an on-demand infrastructure on a pay-as-you-go basis. With a suite of 160+ services, AWS is the top cloud platform. Servers, databases, storage, databases, content delivery, DNS management, Global regions, identity access management, management tools, etc., are all used by top companies worldwide.
Currently, AWS is spread over 95 locations across 7 continents, including Africa, Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Israel, the Middle East, and South America.
AWS has divided these locations into Regions, Wavelength Zones, and Local Zones. We have 32 AWS Regions, 30 AWS Wavelength Zones, and 33 AWS Local Zones.
