The AWS Management Console is a web-based management interface used to create and manage resources and services on the AWS Cloud Platform. Different services are available on the AWS Cloud Platform to perform different functionalities. Some of the most used services include the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Relational Database Service (RDS), and S3.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service is used to create different virtual machines which can be used for a specific function and is referred to as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
The RDS is used to create different types of databases and is known as Platform as a Service (PaaS).
To create a scalable cloud storage solution, the S3 service can be used.
