How Amazon AWS works?
AWS stands for Amazon Web Services. It is a secure cloud services platform providing compute power, database storage, content delivery and other functionality to help businesses scale and grow. AWS Marketplace offers free and paid software products that run on the AWS free tier. In Other Words; Amazon Web Services (AWS) is simply a family of cloud-computing applications that allows users to rent out Amazon’s servers instead of buying their own.
Big multinational companies like BMW, Netflix, Airbnb, Unilever etc. use AWS! However, AWS is free in Belgium; and you are fully authorised to use the products on Amazon AWS – click on the link to create a free account.
AWS is absolutely free as long as you use the services that are listed under Free Tier and you use as per your recommend Free Tier usage limits. Some services are not free but, the Free Tier is enough if your primary objective is to get access to the basics of AWS and get yourself well-acquainted with AWS.
This Is How It Works
Many companies that run big websites or apps let Amazon’s cloud-computing platforms handle their data and computation for three main reasons.
- Renting servers with Amazon Web Services helps them save time since Amazon will take care of the servers’ security, upgrades, and other maintenance issues. Because Amazon Web Services has many active users, it is also able to achieve high economies of scale, driving the cost of a single server down. So, users pay less when renting servers with Amazon than when they purchase their own servers.
- AWS has advanced security features and a significant number of online security experts on staff that keeps the stored data on their platforms highly secure. Home Depot, Sony, and Target bought their own servers instead of using Amazon Web Services, and, as we know, their servers were broken in by hackers.
- AWS is also highly reliable. It keeps multiple copies of the app and data at several independent data centres around the world, so your information will still be safe even if a natural disaster strikes one of the data centres.
Overall, Amazon Web Services makes running applications and storing a large amount of data more accessible, faster, and cheaper. This is why they control 34% market share of the total cloud computing services space (as of 2017), more than that of its competitors (Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud).

How Amazon Got Started?
Jeff was doing extremely well before starting Amazon. He was working as a Wall Street Investment Banker where Jeff came across an interesting statistic in 1994. The figure showed many web users growth at 2300 % annually. And, then Jeff was drawn by this figure and decided to jump into e-commerce. He made a list of top 20 things which he could sell. And decided to sell books because of their universal appeal.
He named the company Amazon after the river. His main objective was to bring about the scale of the business with the initial tagline “Earth’s biggest bookstore”. And the ‘Rest is history.’
Interesting Trivia – There was a bell in the garage where Amazon was started. It rang each time they received an order. By the end of the first month, Amazon shipped books to 50 states in US and 45 countries worldwide. The bell was continuously ringing, and Jeff had to discontinue the practice.
