WHAT IS AMAZON WEB SERVICE?

AWS is a cloud computing service that gives customers a way of accessing databases, storage and servers. 

AWS owns and operates the hardware that is required to provide these services.

Customers access what they need from AWS through a web application.

Amazon's cloud computing option allows users to pay for the resources they need as they go - meaning they do not have to purchase servers that might not even be used to be safe.

Additionally, the service allows developers to access exactly the infrastructure capacity they need so they do not end up having purchased too much or too little.  

The 'AWS Secret Region' is a subset with the capability to allow the 17 intelligence agencies to host, analyze and run applications on government data classified at the secret level.

The service is air-gapped—or shut off—from the rest of the internet.
