Amazon Web Services (AWS) is among the widely used cloud-computing platforms today by organizations big and small. The range of services on offer under AWS is astonishing to say the least. AWS offerings include cloud migration, web hosting, and much more. Here’s a look at the top 5 AWS services in 2020.
1. Amazon S3
Storage and retrieval of data has a highly important place in the cloud computing landscape. This is why Amazon Simple Storage Service (or Amazon S3) is counted among the most important Amazon cloud services. S3, coupled with the Amazon cloud database, enables AWS users to easily upload, store and retrieve files as large as 5TB. The high speed and low-cost web-based service is designed for scalable online backup and archiving of data and application programs.
2. Amazon EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud is used to provide computing capacity to users. EC2 allows for fast, efficient and cost-effective development and deployment of applications. It can also be used to set up virtual servers in accordance with user requirements.

3. Amazon VPC
Amazon VPC ensures that user data and information remain secure on the AWS cloud. Access is restricted to duly authorized people using the Virtual Private Network, ensuring that sensitive information is not revealed to outsiders or hackers.
4. Amazon Cloudfront
CloudFront service is used to ascertain the speed of your website. Sharing of both image files and static/dynamic web content such as .css, .html and image files is faster with this AWS service. All data, applications, images and videos are delivered quickly, securely and with low latency to users and clients within an environment that is highly developer-friendly.
5. AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda eliminates the need for a server to run code. Code is executed only when a user needs it to and gets automatically scaled. A great feature of AWS Lambda is that users pay only for the computing time, i.e. the time during which the code is running. Lambda works with code written in Python, Java, Node.js, along with the languages that Amazon Linux supports.
