AWS AI/ML - The Ultimate Guide for IT Girls

AWS: The Magical Toolbox for IT Girls#

AWS is Amazon’s global cloud platform. It lets businesses and developers tap into a huge range of technologies on a subscription basis, no own data centers required. None. You just rent what you need.

How does it actually work?

1️⃣ You log into AWS, pick the service you need, and start using it.
2️⃣ Everything runs in the cloud, so you don’t need to worry about managing servers.
3️⃣ AWS automates all processes and gives you ready-made AI/ML solutions.

There are a TON of services in here. Let me walk you through the ones I find most interesting and useful, queen.
