WORLD CLASS SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE
AWS has built a world class, highly secured infrastructure for both physical and digital systems over the past 10 years. Their main security service “Identity & Access Management” or IAM, can allow administrators to completely shut off access to any users or custom tailor user permissions to their entire platform leaving no room for unauthorized access.
COST FLEXIBILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS
Amazon passes on the benefits of cost savings to customers in the form of lower prices as it manages and builds global infrastructure at scale. You consume only as much storage or computing power as needed by the project or product you’re developing for. You can terminate your relationship with AWS whenever you want to, scale down or up as required, and have a complete self-service experience online. Reduce costs and drive revenues by taking on new opportunities as the cloud enables you to respond rapidly to changes, small or large.
BEST API AND ONLINE DOCUMENTATION
AWS’ online documentation and API is very well written and has a robust library of live examples. Anyone jumping into one of their services for the first time can immediately start learning how it works with their quick-start guides and online tutorials. The community support for AWS is so active that many YouTube channels and users have created tutorials on how to use and code for many of their services. Each service they offer comes backed by an API that you can connect to either through a web service or manually through their command line interface.
