A quick introduction about AWS:

Amazon Web Services are shortly known as AWS. It is a subsidiary of Amazon providing on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis.

Three ways by which we can use AWS:

1. **AWS GUI Dashboard **— It provides a graphical interface but it is limited to only certain functions. It can be accessed from here. Therefore we need to use the 2nd option.
2. AWS CLI — It is the command-line interface. It provides us with a lot of flexibility.
3. Automation tools like Terraform or Ansible.
