Launched in 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began exposing key infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services, in today’s world widely known as cloud computing. A prominent data centre company, AWS’ cloud computing allows the ability to leverage a new business model and turn capital infrastructure expenses into variable costs. Using AWS businesses can take advantage of Amazon's expertise and economies of scale to access resources to deliver results faster and at a lower cost.

In the last 17 years AWS has grown and now comprises more than 200 products, with hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world using AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster - compared to the 150,000 developers who signed up to use AWS at its cloud computing inception in 2006.
