What kind of services does Amazon Web Services provide?

Amazon Web Services provides a wide range of cloud-computing services ranging from email to load balancing and virtual servers. The idea behind using these cloud-based services provided by Amazon is that it's a more cost-effective alternative to building physical servers.

Amazon launched its cloud-computing platform in 2006, putting it at the forefront of what's shaping up to be the next big platform for technological innovation. While the idea of cloud computing may be new to most people, it has actually been the basis of many services that people have used for years, such as social media websites and email services.
