return to the de facto Standards area

Amazon is a huge company with an extensive portfolio of de facto standards. Many of them merit little or no interest within the DIDO world; however, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has a lot of functionality deserving consideration by DIDO Communities of Interest (CoI)

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. In aggregate, these cloud computing web services provide a set of primitive abstract technical infrastructure and distributed computing building blocks and tools. One of these services is Amazon ec2, which allows users to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers, available all the time, through the Internet. AWS's version of virtual computers emulate most of the attributes of a real computer, including hardware cpu and gpu for processing; local/RAM memory; hard-disk/SSD storage; a choice of operating systems; networking; and pre-loaded application software such as web servers, databases, and customer relationship management (CRM).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Web_Services
