Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most popular cloud platform, offering over 200 services for compute, storage, databases, networking, and more. This track covers cloud fundamentals and the most important AWS services.

Analogy: On-premises servers are like owning your own car — you buy it, maintain it, insure it, and it sits in your garage. Cloud computing is like using a ride-sharing app — you pay only when you use it, and someone else handles maintenance.
