2.1 Brief History of AWS
On March 2, 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) was officially launched, founded by Alexander Sen from the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine, and Bell Labs, and established at the end of 2010. Although AWS announced its closure in 2012, its cloud computing platform has become one of the most influential cloud computing platforms today.
At the end of 2010, AWS announced the launch of EC2-based elastic computing cloud service, which can scale computing power on demand and is suitable for applications of various sizes. Subsequently, AWS provided more advanced services, such as Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR), Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Machine Learning, Amazon CloudWatch, and Amazon VPC, etc. .
At the end of 2012, AWS announced the launch of S3-based
