In 2006 Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering IT infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services now known as cloud computing. One of the key benefits of cloud computing is the opportunity to replace upfront capital infrastructure expenses with low variable costs that scale with your business. With the cloud businesses no longer need to plan for and procure servers and other IT infrastructure weeks or months in advance. Instead they can instantly spin up hundreds or thousands of servers in minutes and deliver results faster. Today AWS provides highly reliable scalable low-cost infrastructure services in the cloud that power hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world.
