Simplified explanation:

You can rent servers from them for stuff like websites, data storage, AI, etc.

For those complaining, AWS is simply infrastructure as a service business model. Amazon offers you a plethora of services such as storage (S3), virtual computers (EC2), databases (RDS), server-less (Lambda) and many others. It can be intimidating at first and I've been there. Chances of you using all the 150+ services is minimal. Specialize on what you want and be good at it. 👍

When the Animation is great
But Title and Content has 0 Technical connection! Well done.

I watched the whole video, yet learned nothing 💀😂

The animation is legit. My eyes cant stop finding that tiny rocket flying around and hence I cant hear what she saying.

This is the perfect example of saying a bunch of things without saying a bunch of things.

Cloud computing is fascinating. I'm taking my AWS Cloud Practitioner exam very soon. Then my path is becoming an AWS Solutions Architect. I would define AWS as a combination of different IT Resources available on the internet on a pay as a you go pricing.

I honestly did not understand anything

[gagandeepsingh]

What kind of magical combination of narration, content and animation is this that i was not able to understand anything. lol

"You only pay for what you use"
I literally just created an EC2 instance, didn't use it, and a few months later got charged $35

This video was designed to impress C-suite execs who know nothing about IT. Had to keep swirling animations going non-stop to distract from how fluffy and vapid the narrative was.

[cathiegotuzzo]

Still don't get it, I wonder how many other videos I'll need to see before I fully understand the concept... so far, a platform to develop apps?

[hnaqvi]

For people who dont know what AWS is or just cant understand it, just be thankful you get to be part of history

[kedharnath]

What is the software used for creating this animation ?

[krasnov]

[bmettle]

Can't believe this has been around since 2006...
