In 2006, Amazon launched its cloud services infrastructure - AWS. Cloud services offer a wide range of solutions in areas such as infrastructure, storage, databases, configurations, resource management, automation processes, and more. Due to the efficiency of the platform and the wide array of solutions it provides, AWS services are widely used in the tech industry, with their usage increasing over the years as more companies recognize the platform's advantages.
In addition to the use of the AWS platform, there are additional benefits, such as pay-as-you-go resource payment as opposed to fixed monthly costs, the highest level of security, technical support, excellent uptime, and more.
The usage of Amazon's cloud services is very common in the tech industry, and in many cases, a broad range of employees, including those in infrastructure, IT, developers, software testers, and of course, DevOps personnel, are involved with AWS services in various capacities.
