Apa iku AWS lan apa iku cloud computing?

Question

Accepted Answer

**AWS** (Amazon Web Services) yaiku platform **cloud computing** sing paling unggul — nyediakake computing resources on-demand (servers, storage, databases, networking, lan ratusan layanan) liwat internet, dibayar miturut penggunaan. Cloud computing tegese nyewa IT resources tinimbang duwe hardware fisik.

## Cloud computing: nyewa resources on-demand

```text
TRADITIONAL: buy/maintain your own physical servers (data center, upfront cost,
  capacity planning, maintenance, slow to scale)
CLOUD: rent computing resources from a provider ON DEMAND, over the internet:
  → provision servers/storage/databases in MINUTES (no buying hardware)
  → PAY ONLY for what you use (pay-as-you-go)
  → SCALE up/down instantly as needs change
  → the provider handles the physical infrastructure
```

## Apa sing AWS nyediakake (ratusan layanan)

```text
✓ COMPUTE — EC2 (virtual servers), Lambda (serverless functions), ECS/EKS (containers)
✓ STORAGE — S3 (object storage), EBS (disks), EFS (file storage)
✓ DATABASES — RDS (SQL), DynamoDB (NoSQL), ElastiCache (Redis), etc.
✓ NETWORKING — VPC (private networks), Route 53 (DNS), CloudFront (CDN)
✓ Plus: security (IAM), monitoring (CloudWatch), messaging, AI/ML, analytics, and more
```

## Keuntungan utama

```text
✓ NO upfront hardware cost; pay-as-you-go (operational vs capital expense)
✓ SCALABILITY — scale instantly to meet demand (up and down)
✓ GLOBAL reach — deploy across regions worldwide quickly
✓ RELIABILITY — redundant, managed infrastructure
✓ SPEED — provision resources in minutes; focus on your app, not hardware
```

## Kenapa iki penting

Paham AWS lan cloud computing yaiku ilmu sing berharga lan luas relevanine amarga cloud computing wis ngowahi cara software dibangun lan dideploy, lan AWS yaiku platform cloud sing paling unggul, digunakake kanthi luas ing seluruh industri.

Konsep fundamental — **cloud computing tegese nyewa computing resources on-demand** (tinimbang duwe hardware fisik), ngedadekake servers, storage, lan databases ing pirang menit, bayar mung apa sing digunakake, lan scale langsung — nggambarake perubahan gedhe saka model tradisional tuku lan njago data center dhewe, ngilangake biaya di muka, teka-teki kapasitas, lan slow scaling.

Paham **apa sing AWS nyediakake** (ratusan layanan meliputi compute kaya EC2 lan Lambda, storage kaya S3, databases kaya RDS lan DynamoDB, networking kaya VPC lan CloudFront, plus security, monitoring, lan liyane) nunjukake ambane kemampuan sing ana on-demand.

Paham **keuntungan utama** (ora ana biaya di muka karo pay-as-you-go pricing, instant scalability, jangkauan global, managed reliability, lan cepete provisioning) nerangake kenapa organisasi ngadopsi cloud computing — iku bisa ndadekake tim fokus ing aplikasine tinimbang infrastruktur, scale kanthi efisien, lan bisa cepet.

Amarga cloud computing wis dadi pusat cara paling software dideploy lan AWS yaiku platform dominan (karo cloud skills sing banyak dicari ing industri), lan amarga paham apa iku AWS, model cloud computing, lan keuntungane yaiku foundational kanggo karya software lan operations modern, paham AWS lan cloud computing yaiku ilmu sing berharga lan luas bisa digunakake — konsep fundamental sing dadi dasar infrastruktur modern, saya penting kanggo developers lan operations professionals, lan starting point kanggo nggarap cloud platforms sing ngibangke sebagian gedhe software saiki.
