"Today, AWS is home to over 200 services. They classify these services into domain categories such as the following:

● Migration

● Storage

● Identity compliance

● Network

● Compute

● Content delivery

● Management tools

● Database

● Security

With such a huge number of services available, it's difficult to determine the most widely used ones. For organizations looking to migrate their database or applications and IT professionals interested in becoming part of the AWS revolution, here are the top 10 AWS services.

Amazon EC2 Businesses no longer have to worry about looking for money to put into expensive physical services. Instead, they can use Amazon EC2 to create virtual machines and manage critical server functions such as storage and security. This service allows them to spend more time working on their projects instead of server maintenance, making Amazon EC2 the fastest growing and most popular AWS service.

Amazon RDS Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) helps make organizational infrastructure user friendly. The service eases the creation of dedicated database instances. Plus, you can use the instances to support several database engines, such as PostgreSQL, SQL, and SQL Server.

Amazon Simple Storage Service Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) provides businesses with storage to handle an increasing amount of big data. The service provides a highly redundant and secure file storage solution in one of three data centers in each region. Included integrations with Amazon S3 offer multiple ways to prevent breaches, for example, through PCI-DSS.

Amazon VPC This service is suitable for businesses ready to isolate their entire IT infrastructure from exposure. It works by creating a private virtual network, which is only accessible to authorized individuals and systems. Some additional security features include network access control lists and security groups. For extra security, organizations can have dedicated instances created which isolates them at the hardware level from their other AWS accounts.

AWS Beanstalk Switching from development to maintenance is difficult for developers. AWS Beanstalk is an auto-scaling service for automatic software updates that automates setting up, configuring, and provisioning other AWS services such as S3, EC2, and RDS. Automating setup helps eliminate human error.

AWS Autoscaling Businesses seeking growth need to make sure their IT infrastructure can provide the required support. Through AWS Autoscaling, organizations can easily manage server fleets and incoming traffic. Businesses can create several instances when required.

AWS Autoscaling ensures predictive scaling and provisioning that ensures the right amount of resources available for EC2 instances ahead of seasonal spikes and other future traffic. Plus, machine learning algorithms can detect and adjust to daily and even weekly patterns.

Amazon Cloud Front This service is critical in improving site speed and access to data on the cloud. The CloudFront service works like a Global Content Delivery Service (CDN) by efficiently delivering content to the end-user. Some of the benefits include improved web page loading speed and the ability to pull site static files from data centers all over the world.

Amazon SNS This is an event-driven computing hub that alerts a subscriber service to perform certain tasks automatically based on specified triggers.

For instance, sending notifications to any user on any platform. Integration with Python, PHP, Node, etc., means that organizations never miss a critical alert.

AWS Lambda Sometimes, the current server infrastructure is incapable of supporting the demands of an ongoing development speed. AWS Lambda can come in and support the development load. While you are handling coding, AWS Lambda provides the right amount of resources and support so that your system does not stretch past its capacity.

AWS IAM AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) ensures effective fortification of sensitive data and AWS resources. The service can also be used with the organization’s MFA and 2FA. The added security layer can ensure business compliance with industry standards.

For businesses, these top AWS services are treasures in the cloud. They are cost-effective and secure and also support continuous operational efficiency.
