Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. With AWS you can utilize computing power (virtual machine instances), storage, and networking, a variety of databases and file stores, messaging systems, and a lot more, as your needs scale up or down.

SDKs to access and manage Amazon Web Services are provided in a multitude of programming languages, including PHP, Java, .NET, Nodejs, Python, and more. The services are also accessible through REST and SOAP APIs, the command-line interface, and a web-console.
