Fundamentals of AWS

Using AWS resources instead of your own is like purchasing electricity from a power company instead of running your own generator

Course Overview

Using AWS resources instead of your own is like purchasing electricity from a power company instead of running your own generator, and it provides many of the same benefits: capacity exactly matches your need, you pay only for what you use, economies of scale result in lower costs, and the service is provided by a vendor experienced in running large-scale networks.
