Today I want to discuss a very exciting topic as per remembering my very first journey on Medium. That is AWS (Amazon Web Services) EC2.

Let the journey begins..!

What is AWS.?

Amazon Web Services is a cloud computing platform that equips customers with a wide range of services. We can describe this as a secured cloud services platform that endeavors compute power virtual machines (just like EC2), database storage (S3), and various other functionalities.

How to Join.?

If you are a university student you can join the AWS educate program and get a $75 credit free account. click here to join AWS educate.
