What is AWS used for?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has become the backbone of digital infrastructure for countless organizations across the globe. From startups and enterprises to government agencies and educational institutions, AWS offers flexible, scalable, and reliable cloud solutions tailored for a wide variety of uses.

But what exactly is AWS used for? In this article, we’ll explore the key applications of AWS and how it supports different industries and business functions.

What is AWS?

Before diving into its uses, it's essential to understand what AWS is. Amazon Web Services is a cloud computing platform developed by Amazon that offers on-demand services such as computing power, storage, databases, networking, machine learning, and more—all delivered via the internet.

These services eliminate the need for traditional on-premises infrastructure, reducing costs and increasing flexibility.

1. Web Hosting and Application Deployment

One of the most common uses of AWS is for hosting websites and deploying web applications. AWS provides a full suite of tools that make it easy to:

Host static and dynamic websites

Deploy content management systems (CMS) like WordPress

Run e-commerce platforms with high availability

Auto-scale applications based on traffic demand

With services like Amazon EC2, Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon S3, developers can deploy secure, scalable websites with minimal effort.

2. Data Storage and Backup

AWS is a trusted platform for storing and backing up data. It offers a range of storage services for various needs:

Amazon S3 for object storage

Amazon EBS for block storage

Amazon Glacier for long-term archiving

Businesses rely on AWS for secure, redundant, and highly available storage that can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

3. Big Data and Analytics

Handling large volumes of data efficiently is a significant challenge for modern organizations. AWS offers powerful analytics tools such as:

Amazon Redshift for data warehousing

Amazon EMR for big data processing with Hadoop and Spark

AWS Glue for data integration and ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)

These tools allow companies to gather insights from massive datasets, helping with decision-making, market analysis, and customer behavior tracking.

4. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

AWS has simplified the integration of AI and machine learning into applications. Services like Amazon SageMaker, Rekognition, and Comprehend allow developers to:

Train and deploy machine learning models

Analyze images and videos

Understand text through natural language processing

This is widely used in industries such as healthcare, finance, retail, and education.

5. Internet of Things (IoT)

AWS also supports IoT applications through services like AWS IoT Core. Organizations use it to connect and manage devices, collect telemetry data, and build real-time responsive systems.

IoT use cases include smart homes, industrial automation, and connected vehicles.

6. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

AWS offers robust disaster recovery solutions that ensure business continuity in the event of system failure, data corruption, or cyberattacks. Services such as AWS Backup, Amazon Route 53, and multi-region deployments help organizations recover quickly with minimal downtime.

7. Development and Testing

Developers often use AWS as a sandbox environment for building, testing, and staging applications. With Elastic Beanstalk and CloudFormation, they can set up and tear down test environments easily, reducing hardware costs and increasing speed to market.

8. Education and Training

Educational institutions and training centers use AWS to host virtual labs, manage student databases, and support online learning platforms.

For learners, especially those interested in a cloud career, enrolling in practical AWS classes can offer valuable hands-on experience. These classes often provide training on real AWS services and prepare students for certifications and job roles in the cloud domain.

9. Enterprise IT Solutions

Large enterprises use AWS for migrating on-premise applications to the cloud. AWS helps streamline operations through tools for:

Identity management (IAM)

Security and compliance

System monitoring (CloudWatch)

Automation and orchestration

These capabilities reduce overhead, improve efficiency, and provide global reach.

Final Thoughts

AWS is more than just a cloud provider—it’s a robust platform powering some of the world’s most innovative and scalable digital services. From hosting and storage to machine learning and analytics, AWS offers solutions for virtually every technical challenge a business might face.

Whether you're an individual exploring cloud technologies or a professional looking to upskill, joining AWS classes in Chandigarh or any other region can be a game-changer. With guided training, you can unlock the full potential of AWS and step confidently into the world of cloud computing.

It's been talked about to death and back but. JSchlatt joining the DSMP, only ever logging on for lore purposes, playing a fan fucking tastic villain that was an absolute joy to watch on screen, equal parts menacing/intimidating and goofy, completely stealing the show and perfectly matching the silly-but-serious energy of the lore up to that point, doing that for 1 season that I still think is one of the most impossibly coherent and thematically powerful pieces of roleplay media to date, and then having his character die after he'd run his course and never logging on again. was completely fucking legendary. He knew exactly what he needed to do and he did it flawlessly then left.

As per usual, it’s DP crossover with (probably) DC, although you could probably adjust it for other fandoms

ANYWAYS

A little kid and his mother are trick or treating in another city, perhaps at some kind of event rather than knocking on doors, and the kid is dressed as Phantom. It’s very adorable, with his little ghost-shaped bucket and clearly homemade and already stained costume—listen, white only works if you can just fly over street grime or phase it out of your clothes—and his slightly I’ll fitting wig. The kid is SO happy to be out and about dressed as his favorite, and maybe even showed it off to Phantom back in Amity Park before his family left.

The hero, insert whoever you wish here, is probably in civvies and just enjoying the event. The kid, meanwhile, is so glad when people ask who he is so he can explain, and so- the hero gets to hear ALL ABOUT the local town hero who is probably pretty small time despite the kid’s clearly exaggerated stories. The hero certainly never heard of him, but the kid’s mom confirms that Phantom really was the town hero, despite some mixed reviews of the poor guy.

“Did you manage to show him your costume?” the hero asks.

“Yeah! We went down to the cemetery to leave flowers and I got to show him my costume.”

Wait. Cemetery? Maybe it was part of theme, because Phantom had to be named that for a reason, but… it sounded like…

The kid ignores the suddenly VERY still hero and instead turns to his mom. “Momma, do you think we should bring him candy? He doesn’t get to trick or treat like we do, and I can work super hard to get him a bunch!”

The kid’s mom just smiles. “We could, but maybe we should bring him something homemade. I bet he’d like something more filling, teen boys like him have a hollow leg.”

The kid wrinkles his nose. “Like Vernie with the pizza bagels?”

“Like your cousin, yes. We can make some cinnamon rolls and take them to his memorial, maybe bring some of the apples from your grandpa’s garden…”

The hero is pretty much forgotten as the two-part family wanders off, not quite intentionally forgetting the hero is there so much as the hero somewhat accidentally ended the conversation when they just froze and didn’t ask anything further.

Not that the hero didn’t want to. But they’d learn something very serious.

One—there was a small town hero they’d never heard of. Two—that hero was apparently a teen. Third—most pressingly, the teen hero was both beloved enough to have kids dressing up as him and dead enough to have a grave.

This… might require some phone calls.

It's about Crowley bearing witness to Aziraphale's desire, about the way that desire is animal and visceral and enormous and terrifying*. And about how Crowley sees that and wants it. Crowley offers the ox rib and watches Aziraphale eat because eating provides them no sustenance, it's purely for pleasure, sensual, selfish. And Crowley introduces Aziraphale to this, and thousands of years later still takes obvious pleasure in feeding Aziraphale, in watching him eat. In watching Aziraphale's pleasure.

And I think it's significant the things we see Crowley put into his body in s2, and why: six shots of espresso, as something bracing before seeing what it is that made Aziraphale call him in his "something's wrong" tone; whiskey, because he has to give Aziraphale some bad news; wine, because they "might as well get comfortable" during the storm coming down on Job, after Aziraphale learns that Crowley is actually pretty unhappy with Job's suffering; and poison, to dispose of it so Elspeth (or Wee Morag, I've fogotten which is which) doesn't die. Crowley doesn't take Aziraphale's "something that calms you down", only consumes things that not only don't bring him pleasure but are an attempt to prevent pain. Crowley, who introduced Aziraphale to this important physical, sensual, selfish pleasure, denies it to himself. He denies himself the eccles cakes, he denies himself partaking in food, and he denies himself Aziraphale.

And we see throughout the rest of the season other things he's denying himself: the comfort and safety of a home in the bookshop in favor of the mobility and ready-made escape of living in the Bentley, the surety of saying what he really means during the confession. He cannot bring himself to admit what he wants, that he wants. Gabriel and Beelzebub "going off together" is not what he wants. He wants Aziraphale, but he doesn't say that, because he's never, in the years and years and years we've seen this season, let himself want or be seen wanting. "Going off together" is as close as he can get to speaking it. "A group of the two of us" is as close as he can get. So he has to watch as Aziraphale leaves and takes his pleasure in the world with him.

The most brilliant and impressive thing Ryan Coogler did in my opinion was figure out how to communicate to the audience the actual tangible power of Sammie’s music, so we could truly conceptualize what it was that Remmick wanted and what he threatened to take away.

What’s wild is that you can write a story that revolves around two male characters and make it sibling-coded or as obviously platonic as you want, but Hori didn’t do that. Right up until the finish line he fed the bkdk’s when given the choice.

He didn’t have to give Katsuki an 11+ year hang up about holding Izuku’s hand. He didn’t have to make Izuku so possessive, or have him go feral anytime Katsuki was looked at wrong. He certainly didn’t have to give Izuku the “I’m gonna hurt your loved one to hurt you” trope or have Katsuki use Izuku’s kiddie nickname for himself in front of the biggest bad.

He gave Izuku the “control your heart” complex that centered entirely on Katsuki

He had Katsuki literally die and come back to life thinking only about Izuku

He gave them the big eyes-meet-across-the-battlefield moment and that voiceover about how their feelings were finally one

At every opportunity, right up until the epilogue chapter, Hori chose to write Izuku and Katsuki like you would the main hero and heroine in any action story and it worked
