"Physical data centers require lots of equipment and take time and resources to manage. If you need a data center, but don't want to build your own, Amazon Web Services may be your solution. Whether you're analyzing real-time data, building software as a service, or running an e-commerce site, AWS offers you a reliable cloud-based platform with services that scale. Amazon Web Services in Action introduces your to computing, storing, and networking in the AWS cloud. You'll start with an overview of cloud computing and then begin setting up your account.
