Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud service from Amazon providing services in the form of building blocks, which can be used to create and deploy any type of application in the cloud.

These services or building blocks are designed to work with each other and result in applications that are sophisticated and highly scalable.

Each type of service can be categorized under a domain. Widely used domains are: Compute, Storage, Database, Migration, Network and Content Delivery, Security & Identity Compliance ...


From the Datavard perspective, Storage and Database domains are the relevant ones.

Datavard supports storage service S3 and database service Redshift.

Please refer to (SM 2005) S3/Redshift Storage Setup for more information.
