What is AWS and why does everyone use it? In this less than 120 seconds crash course, we break down Amazon Web Services (AWS) into fast, funny, and painfully accurate insights that developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud beginners can actually use.
AWS powers half the internet, including Netflix, NASA, and maybe your mom’s astrology blog. From EC2 to S3 to Lambda, you’ll learn what AWS actually is, what services matter, and why people keep accidentally making everything public with IAM.
This video is part of a series covering the most essential AWS services: EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM, CloudFormation, SQS, and more, all explained with speed and sarcasm. Just AWS explained in a style you’ll actually remember.
