Chapter 1. Getting Started with AWS

Cloud computing is driving the IT industry to restructure the application workflow. It offers low-cost services for IT resources over the internet and a pay-as-you-go pricing model.

With AWS, we can create high availability and fault tolerant applications with minimal configurations. AWS reduces the stress of managing on-premises physical servers and allows us to focus on application layers.
