You share these resources over the internet or the cloud to quicken the pace of innovation, provide flexible resources, and enjoy cost-efficiency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud computing can be exclusively for a single business (private), or owned and operated by some third-party (public) or you can also go for a combo of these two (hybrid). There are various types of cloud computing and numerous types of cloud computing services.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And speaking of cloud computing services, serverless computing, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), or serverless computing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, there are innumerable cloud computing services in the market that are willing to offer you premium resources at an affordable range. Yet, when the word cloud computing appears, only one name pops up in our minds: AWS or Amazon Web Services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_AWS\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is AWS?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launched in 2006, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/aws-training\/\">Amazon Web Services (AWS)<\/a> is a cloud computing service provider that provides scalable and affordable cloud computing solutions. It is a leading cloud provider that has over 170 AWS services for developers to make their lives a breeze. AWS has customers from all over the world, including 190 countries. Amazon claims that the number of active users to date is approximately 1,000,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The range of users involves 5000 ed-tech institutions and 2000 government organizations. Giant players like Netflix, ESPN, Adobe, Twitter, BBC, AirBnB, etc. are some of the active consumers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/amazon-web-services\/\">AWS services<\/a>.\u00a0For instance, Adobe uses AWS to create its infrastructure and offer multi-terabyte operating environments for its clients. Likewise, Netflix uses AWS cloud computing solutions to offer seamless video-streaming services to its viewers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of cloud computing services, AWS comes with a wide range of on-demand services to help developers deploy and scale their apps on the cloud platform in the easiest way possible. These solutions include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Network and content delivery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Database<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Computer service<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security tools<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developer tools<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Management tools<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, AWS has many sophisticated applications in its bag to provide agility and scalability to your business. The most common AWS apps include storage and backup, websites, web apps, gaming, and mobile and social apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_cool_statistics_and_facts_about_AWS\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some cool statistics and facts about AWS<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While all of us know something and many things about AWS, let\u2019s take a quick look at the timeline of AWS:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2002:<\/strong> Launch of AWS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2006:<\/strong> AWS cloud products were launched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2012:<\/strong> First customer event of AWS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2015:<\/strong> AWS achieved USD 4.6 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2016:<\/strong> AWS bypassed the USD 10 billion revenue target.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2016:<\/strong> (same year) AWS snowball and snowmobile were launched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2019:<\/strong> Introduced 100 of its cloud services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get a clearer picture of AWS\u2019s foothold, have a sneak peek at the current scenario of AWS and how it is ruling the cloud computing market:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS grew by 36.5% year-on-year in the first quarter. Researchers say it&#8217;s faster than they had estimated.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS was lucky enough to allocate USD 6.52 billion of its operating income in the first quarter, which is almost 57% higher than the USD 5.62 billion as stated by StreetAccount consensus.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, with Amazon\u2019s total operating income being USD 3.7 billion, the overall business might have collapsed had it not been for AWS performing extraordinarily, no matter what.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS revenue in the fourth quarter summed up to USD 18.44 billion, which is 16% of Amazon\u2019s total revenue and higher than StreetAccount\u2019s estimate of USD 18.27 billion. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As one of the national dailies correctly states, \u201cIn Amazon, cloud means profit.\u201d AWS\u2019 operating margin grew to 35.3% from 29.8% in the fourth quarter.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_AWS_cloud_is_dominating_the_cloud_computing_market\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why AWS cloud is dominating the cloud computing market?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS is the king, ruling the cloud computing market throughout the decade. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparethecloud.net\/articles\/here-is-why-aws-still-dominates-the-cloud-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says AWS\u2019s global market share is close to 33.8%, whereas Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM together hold merely 30% of the market share. Interestingly, in Q1 of 2016, while Alibaba Cloud, Microsoft, and Google had stable growth rates and performed well, AWS still had higher revenue than all five. So the question is, how does AWS comfortably dominate the market?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, AWS maintained its throne due to consistent price drops. AWS has revised its pricing models more than 50 times since 2006, which helps businesses scale conveniently while maintaining economies of scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, AWS has constantly evolved and innovated, which gives it the first-mover advantage. From being an infrastructure platform, today it offers platforms for databases, developer apps, tools, analytics, AR, AI, etc. Currently, AWS has 16 regional operations and plans beyond computing and storage. One of the many reasons why big names like Netflix, Spotify, and Adobe are AWS customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, AWS ensures agile and scalable solutions. It has a broad range of strategic adoption tools for beginners, like native cloud apps and e-business hosting. On the contrary, it also offers large tech partner ecosystems for those planning to expand their business and provides a wide array of PaaS and IaaS solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-82889 size-full\" title=\"aws popularity google trends\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AWS-popularity.png\" alt=\"aws popularity google trends\" width=\"542\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AWS-popularity.png 542w, https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AWS-popularity-300x208.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, these are just a few reasons. While many cloud service providers strive to break through the AWS noise, AWS keeps innovating and experimenting calmly and has bagged big industry players. The segment that will take you through AWS is the absolute love for business and cloud engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_startups_love_AWS_more_than_Azure\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do startups love AWS more than Azure?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azure entered the market a little later than AWS but quickly captured a tangible share. It\u2019s open to hybrid cloud systems and offers better tools to ensure data security. Also, Azure makes it super easy to switch between environments and operate their on-premise systems. Yet, I am pretty sure you must have found out that more and more businesses, especially startups, tend to gravitate towards AWS more. But why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To begin with, startups face numerous challenges while they struggle to get a foothold in the market. Its main goal is to lower expenditures while maximizing its revenue and maintaining digital footprints. That\u2019s where AWS helps startups ace the game. There are mainly four ways in which AWS surpasses Azure:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b> AWS offers maximum flexibility: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS has more services, more solutions, and more locations when compared to any other vendor. It allows more control over deployment, access to tools needed, traffic flow, and costs. Azure, on the other hand, is a general cloud provider but appears to be more beneficial for those who are already working with the Microsoft tech stack on a deeper level.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AWS offers simple yet best pricing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing models and budgeting are mammoth tasks, especially when you are switching from on-premise infrastructure to a pay-as-you-go approach. Compared to Azure and Google Cloud, AWS offers the best model. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AWS has better documentation and a community:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Documentation is often an overwhelming procedure for any new user, but AWS cuts out everything fluffy or fancy. The AWS community is also pretty large. There are innumerable blogs, guides, tutorials, forums, videos, and tools that help you learn about AWS services and make them graspable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AWS has a competitive advantage in the local market: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undoubtedly, AWS has a greater local market share. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have a clear winner here!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_AWS_good_for_beginners\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is AWS good for beginners?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to build your career in cloud computing and cloud engineering, AWS can be a significant stepping stone in your profile.
