The Basics
What is Amazon Web Services?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is Amazon's public cloud: on-demand servers, storage, databases, networking and managed services that you rent by the hour or by usage instead of buying hardware. You can start with a single server and grow to a global platform on the same account.
Almost everything you run on AWS is built from four kinds of building block:
Storage
Object, block and archive storage with built-in durability.
S3 · EBS · S3 Glacier
Databases
Managed relational, key-value and in-memory databases.
RDS · Aurora · DynamoDB · ElastiCache
Networking
Private networks, DNS and a global content delivery network.
VPC · Route 53 · CloudFront

Is It Right for You?
AWS or a VPS? An honest answer
The cloud is not always the cheapest home for a workload. Here is how we decide with you.
Choose AWS when
Traffic that spikes or grows fast
You need managed databases, queues or serverless
Customers or compliance expect AWS
Multi-region or high-availability requirements
Choose a ShellSecrets VPS when
A steady website or app with predictable traffic
You want a fixed monthly price
One or two servers cover the whole workload
Data transfer costs would dominate the bill
