If I had to explain Amazon Web Services (AWS) to my grandmother (or any other beginner), I would not tell her it’s a comprehensive cloud computing platform that offers scalable solutions and so on (even though it is).
Instead, I would keep it super simple, free of jargon, and focus on the basics.
That’s my approach to this video. In just a few minutes, I explain what AWS is, why you would use it, the problems it solves, and the foundational services you might want to explore further. Hope you enjoy!
