If I had to explain Amazon Web Services (AWS) to my grandmother (or any other beginner), I would not tell her it’s a comprehensive cloud computing platform that offers scalable solutions and so on (even though it is). Instead, I would keep it super simple, free of jargon, and focus on the basics. That’s my approach to this video. In just a few minutes, I explain what AWS is, why you would use it, the problems it solves, and the foundational services you might want to explore further.

I have watched 10 videos that explained the same concept, but it was full of jargon that I did not understand. This video has made it so simple and useful!
This was amazing! I'd love a whole course by you on AWS!
Like your videos. I'll go through a lot. But you still have that "catching people with hoodies" slide?!? Smh
I needed to refresh this concepts and im watching all your tutorials and they are SO GOOD thank you so much for sharing all this information. I hope I am a smart girl engineer like you one day. Honestly thank you so much queen
Great video, really enjoyed it.
This clarified a lot for me.
So glad you uploaded this.
Thank you so much!! Can you please do more videos about it in deep?
I’m glad I found this video.
Very high quality explanation.
This is high quality content.
The explanation was excellent.
Excellent video. I have known about "cloud computing" for decades. (I was even involved in a failed project in the 1970s that invented the phrase.) But I never put web site providers and cloud computing in the same bag. You just showed me that there's a pretty fine line between a web server farm and a cloud computing provider. Thanks.
Exactly what I was looking for.
The explanation was simple and effective.
This was both clear and engaging.
I learned something new today.
Such an easy to follow video.
Very well thought out.
This was explained really well.
