AWS has become a lifesaver for many organizations like Adobe Systems, 21st Century Fox, AirAsia, Airbnb and a lot more. One of the biggest reasons behind the success stories of these organizations is using AWS as their infrastructure. What does Amazon provide that has grabbed so many user’s attention? Funny question, because they have a lot to serve.
In school, when I had just started learning Linux, I had labs that provided systems with Linux OS. I’m sure none of us really had Linux on our personal laptops and neither did I. Every time I had to practice, I had to use the school labs. A similar situation occurred while learning MySql or for a matter of fact any new technology.
We wanted to concentrate on learning how to work with the technology instead of spending time on the “setting up” part. How I wish I was introduced to AWS back then. Never knew getting Linux OS on my personal system would be as easy as launching an EC2 instance.
Developers face a very similar issue. They would rather spend their time developing instead of setting up the development environment. That’s when Instances in AWS came to their rescue. If the developers needed an environment with Linux and MySql, all they had to do was launch an instance. Honestly, Amazon provides a machine image for almost every requirement.
Hope this helps!
