'''Amazon Web Services''' ('''AWS''') is a subsidiary of [[Amazon.com|Amazon]] providing [[Software as a service|on-demand]] [[cloud computing]] [[computing platform|platform]]s and [[Application programming interface|APIs]] to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. These cloud computing [[web services]] provide a variety of basic abstract technical infrastructure and [[distributed computing]] building blocks and tools. One of these services is [[Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud]] (EC2), which allows users to have at their disposal a [[Virtualization|virtual]] [[Computer cluster|cluster of computer]]s, available all the time, through the Internet. AWS's version of virtual computers emulates most of the attributes of a real computer, including hardware [[central processing unit]]s (CPUs) and [[graphics processing unit]]s (GPUs) for processing; local/[[Random-access memory|RAM]] memory; hard-disk/[[Solid-state drive|SSD storage]]; a choice of operating systems; networking; and pre-loaded application software such as [[web server]]s, [[database]]s, and [[customer relationship management]] (CRM).
The AWS technology is implemented at [[server farm]]s throughout the world, and maintained by the Amazon subsidiary. Fees are based on a combination of usage (known as a "Pay-as-you-go" model), hardware, operating system, software, or networking features chosen by the subscriber required [[Availability (system)|availability]], [[Redundancy (engineering)|redundancy]], [[Computer security|security]], and service options.

== Availability and topology ==
{{As of|2021|01}}, AWS has distinct operations in 24 geographical "regions":<ref name="GlobalInfrastructure" /> 7 in [[North America]], 1 in [[South America]], 6 in [[Europe]], 1 in the Middle-East, 1 in Africa and 8 in [[Asia Pacific]].
AWS has 80 Availability Zones across 25 geographic regions, with plans to launch 15 more Availability Zones and five more AWS Regions in Australia, India, Indonesia, Spain, and Switzerland.
AWS has announced 6 new regions that will be coming online.<ref name="GlobalInfrastructure" />
The AWS Global Cloud Infrastructure is the most secure, extensive, and reliable cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. Whether you need to deploy your application workloads across the globe in a single click, or you want to build and deploy specific applications closer to your end-users with single-digit millisecond latency, AWS provides you the cloud infrastructure where and when you need it.
Ther are 25 Launched Regions,each with multiple Availability Zones (AZ’s),80 Availability Zones,5 Local Zones,13 Wavelength Zones For ultralow latency applications,5 Announced Regions, 12 Announced Local Zones.
With millions of active customers and tens of thousands of partners globally, AWS has the largest and most dynamic ecosystem. Customers across virtually every industry and of every size, including start-ups, enterprises, and public sector organizations, are running every imaginable use case on AWS.
Each region is wholly contained within a single country and all of its data and services stay within the designated region.<ref name="AWSagreement">{{Cite web|url=https://aws.amazon.com/agreement/|title=AWS Customer Agreement|website=Amazon Web Services, Inc.|access-date=April 6, 2016}}</ref> Each region has multiple "Availability Zones",<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/|title=AWS Global Infrastructure|website=About AWS|access-date=May 31, 2017}}</ref> which consist of one or more discrete [[data center]]s, each with [[Emergency power system|redundant power]], networking and connectivity, housed in separate facilities. Availability Zones do not automatically provide additional scalability or redundancy within a region, since they are intentionally isolated from each other to prevent [[Network outage|outage]]s from spreading between Zones. Several services can operate across Availability Zones (e.g., S3, [[Amazon DynamoDB|DynamoDB]]) while others can be configured to replicate across Zones to spread demand and avoid [[downtime]] from failures.
As of December 2014, Amazon Web Services operated an estimated 1.4 million servers across 28 availability zones.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geek.com/chips/just-how-big-is-amazons-aws-business-hint-its-absolutely-massive-1610221/|title=Just how big is Amazon's AWS business?

'''Amazon Web Services''' ('''AWS''') is a subsidiary of [[Amazon.com|Amazon]] providing [[Software as a service|on-demand]] [[cloud computing]] [[computing platform|platform]]s and [[Application programming interface|APIs]] to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. These cloud computing [[web services]] provide a variety of basic abstract technical infrastructure and [[distributed computing]] building blocks and tools. One of these services is [[Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud]] (EC2), which allows users to have at their disposal a [[Virtualization|virtual]] [[Computer cluster|cluster of computer]]s, available all the time, through the Internet. AWS's version of virtual computers emulates most of the attributes of a real computer, including hardware [[central processing unit]]s (CPUs) and [[graphics processing unit]]s (GPUs) for processing; local/[[Random-access memory|RAM]] memory; hard-disk/[[Solid-state drive|SSD storage]]; a choice of operating systems; networking; and pre-loaded application software such as [[web server]]s, [[database]]s, and [[customer relationship management]] (CRM).
-The AWS technology is implemented at [[server farm]]s throughout the world, and maintained by the Amazon subsidiary. Fees are based on a combination of usage (known as a "Pay-as-you-go" model), hardware, operating system, software, or networking features chosen by the subscriber required [[Availability (system)|availability]], [[Redundancy (engineering)|redundancy]], [[Computer security|security]], and service options.

+== Availability and topology ==
+{{As of|2021|01}}, AWS has distinct operations in 24 geographical "regions":<ref name="GlobalInfrastructure" /> 7 in [[North America]], 1 in [[South America]], 6 in [[Europe]], 1 in the Middle-East, 1 in Africa and 8 in [[Asia Pacific]].
+AWS has 80 Availability Zones across 25 geographic regions, with plans to launch 15 more Availability Zones and five more AWS Regions in Australia, India, Indonesia, Spain, and Switzerland.
+AWS has announced 6 new regions that will be coming online.<ref name="GlobalInfrastructure" />
+
+The AWS Global Cloud Infrastructure is the most secure, extensive, and reliable cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. Whether you need to deploy your application workloads across the globe in a single click, or you want to build and deploy specific applications closer to your end-users with single-digit millisecond latency, AWS provides you the cloud infrastructure where and when you need it.
+Ther are 25 Launched Regions,each with multiple Availability Zones (AZ’s),80 Availability Zones,5 Local Zones,13 Wavelength Zones For ultralow latency applications,5 Announced Regions, 12 Announced Local Zones.
+
+With millions of active customers and tens of thousands of partners globally, AWS has the largest and most dynamic ecosystem. Customers across virtually every industry and of every size, including start-ups, enterprises, and public sector organizations, are running every imaginable use case on AWS.
+Each region is wholly contained within a single country and all of its data and services stay within the designated region.<ref name="AWSagreement">{{Cite web|url=https://aws.amazon.com/agreement/|title=AWS Customer Agreement|website=Amazon Web Services, Inc.|access-date=April 6, 2016}}</ref> Each region has multiple "Availability Zones",<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/|title=AWS Global Infrastructure|website=About AWS|access-date=May 31, 2017}}</ref> which consist of one or more discrete [[data center]]s, each with [[Emergency power system|redundant power]], networking and connectivity, housed in separate facilities. Availability Zones do not automatically provide additional scalability or redundancy within a region, since they are intentionally isolated from each other to prevent [[Network outage|outage]]s from spreading between Zones. Several services can operate across Availability Zones (e.g., S3, [[Amazon DynamoDB|DynamoDB]]) while others can be configured to replicate across Zones to spread demand and avoid [[downtime]] from failures.
