The Amazon Web Services (AWS) are a collection of remote computing services (also called web services) that together make up a cloud computing platform, offered over the Internet by Amazon.com. They provide online services for other web sites or client-side applications.
To help new AWS customers get started in the cloud, AWS is now introducing a new free usage tier. New AWS customers will be able to run a free Amazon EC2 Micro Instance for a year. Starting on November 1, new AWS users will be able to take advantage of the following services for a year for free.
In addition to these services, the AWS Management Console is available at no charge to help you build and manage your application on AWS.
