How aws is used in big data?

Question

Could someone tell me how AWS is used in the Big Data domain?

Answer 1

AWS or Amazon Web Services is the current market leader in cloud services platform providers. Big Data represents the huge amount of data that organizations possess that may be structured or unstructured. This mammoth amount of data becomes too much to handle with the traditional datacentres, that’s where cloud players like AWS enter the field.

AWS provides pay per use business models to provide all the infrastructure required for deploying Big Data applications and to scale them to meet the demands.

You don’t have to procure hardware, maintain servers and update the technologies for running your business, everything will be fully managed by AWS.
