AWS
AWS is the pioneer and market leader in infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). With over 200 services, AWS offers a ready-made cloud solution for virtually every technological challenge.
Core Concept
Extreme modularity and scalability. AWS enables the construction of highly available, globally distributed architectures. The principle of "you build it, you run it" is supported by excellent APIs and automation tooling.
Assessment
- Use case: Scaling SaaS products, big data analytics, and enterprise backend systems.
- Advantage: Largest ecosystem, highest rate of innovation, and an abundant pool of specialists available on the market.
- Limitation: Extreme complexity (AWS certification often required), opaque pricing models without FinOps governance, and data protection concerns (US Cloud Act).
