It is through these defining parameters that one can easily predict the tremendous change in cloud computing, dominated by AWS.

All services are billed based on usage, but each service measures usage in varying ways. As of 2017, AWS owns a dominant 34% of all cloud (IaaS, PaaS) while the next three competitors Microsoft, Google, and IBM have 11%, 8%, 6% respectively according to Synergy Group.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Growth and profitability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For Full Year 2018, Net sales increased 31% to $232.9 billion, compared with $177.9 billion in 2017. Excluding the $1.3 billion favorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the year, net sales increased 30% compared with 2017. Operating income increased to $12.4 billion, compared with operating income of $4.1 billion in 2017. Net income increased to $10.1 billion, or $20.14 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.0 billion, or $6.15 per diluted share, in 2017.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Availability and topology<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As of 2019, AWS has distinct operations in 20 geographical &#8220;regions&#8221;: 6 in North America, 1 in South America, 5 in EMEA, and 8 in Asia Pacific. AWS has announced 5 new regions that will be coming online in Hong Kong SAR, Bahrain, Milan, Cape Town and Jakarta. Each region is wholly contained within a single country and all of its data and services stay within the designated region. Each region has multiple &#8220;Availability Zones&#8221;, which consist of one or more discrete data centers, each with redundant power, networking and connectivity, housed in separate facilities. Availability Zones do not automatically provide additional scalability or redundancy within a region, since they are intentionally isolated from each other to prevent outages from spreading between Zones.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Number of Server<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>How many servers does it take to power Amazon&#8217;s huge cloud computing operation? Amazon doesn&#8217;t say, but a researcher in 2012, estimates that Amazon Web Services is using at least 454,400 servers in seven data center hubs around the globe. As of 2019, the exact number of sever in AWS data centers, is not clear.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Servicios<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As of January 2019, there are currently 137 top level services spread across 23 categories. Following are some of the important services:<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon EC2<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon RDS<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon S3<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon CloudFront<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon VPC<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon SNS<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon Elastic Beanstalk<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon Lambda<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon Auto Scaling<br \/>\n\u2022 Amazon Elasticache<br \/>\nMost services are not exposed directly to end users, but instead offer functionality through APIs for developers to use in their applications. Amazon Web Services&#8217; offerings are accessed over HTTP, using the REST architectural style and SOAP protocol.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to iDatalabs there are 3,17,364 companies that use Amazon AWS platform.
