What is AWS? AWS Cloud Computing for Beginners | Explained in Plain English

If I had to explain Amazon Web Services (AWS) to my grandmother (or any other beginner), I would not tell her it’s a comprehensive cloud computing platform that offers scalable solutions and so on (even though it is).

Instead, I would keep it super simple, free of jargon, and focus on the basics.
That’s my approach to this video. In just a few minutes, I explain what AWS is, why you would use it, the problems it solves, and the foundational services you might want to explore further. Hope you enjoy!

After searching dozens of channels to learn AWS finally I found a channel who explains AWS concepts as a grandchild ..!!!! Really appreciate your hardwork !!!😇😇

You're right about keeping it simple, assuming that people are newbies. We've done S3 for years, but I need to learn EC2 and I watched your EC2 Basics video and was able to launch a server. Other videos left out details that they must have assumed I knew. I once knew a middle school assistant principal who said, "You need to make people successful as quickly as possible." You do that!

I've been struggling learning a course about using AWS cloud service to serve my website, I had a hard time to understand the learning content due to lack of this fundamental concept, now everything is more clear to me. Thanks so much for your tutorial, it's very beginner friendly^ ^.

Hi, I simply love your tutorials and your easy delivery style. Personally, what would make things much better is organizing these videos in some logical order for newbies. Currently, the videos seems to appear in random order. If you agree with my suggestion, would you please reorder them more logically to make it easier for your target audience to follow along better? Thank you in advance for your consideration.
