Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a dizzying array of cloud services, from the well known Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Simple Storage Service (S3) to platform as a service (PaaS) offerings covering almost every aspect of modern computing.
Specifically, AWS provides a mature big data architecture with services covering the entire data processing pipeline — from ingestion through treatment and pre-processing, ETL, querying and analysis, to visualization and dashboarding.
