The need for cloud technology continues to increase, along with many companies starting to go digital to grow their business.

Before cloud technology services became popular, companies that wanted to create a data center for their business needs had to build their own data center infrastructure, perform maintenance, and had to predict the data center workload that would be received.

This will certainly be very inconvenient for the company, besides that building data center infrastructure itself is not an easy matter and requires no small amount of money and even tends to require very large costs.

What is AWS?

Of the many platforms that offer cloud technology services, AWS is one of the best cloud services in the world. Even AWS is recorded to still dominate the world’s cloud market share with a percentage of 51.8% and is predicted to continue to grow, considering the need for cloud technology continues to increase every day.

AWS or Amazon Web Services itself is a comprehensive cloud computing service made by Amazon that offers more than 200 services for all cloud computing technology needs with different backgrounds for each company’s business.
