AWSInfrastructure

A cloud you rent by the hour, sold as a long menu of small pieces rather than one big machine. You take only what you need: virtual servers or small pieces of code that run on demand, storage for files, hosted databases, queues and scheduling, a permission system and a network for delivering content. Nearly everything on the internet runs on it somewhere, which makes it the safe default — and also the place where a small misconfiguration, an open storage bucket or a too-permissive role, stays unnoticed until it hurts.
