History

The conception of Amazon Web Services started in 2003 when Chris Pinkhan and Benjamin Black presented a business case on what Amazon's internal infrastructure should be and suggested selling it as a service. SQS was the first service it launched in 2004.  And in 2006 the brand AWS (Amazon Web Services) has been established.  By the following year it has received massive support from developers who started to use the platform.  Then on 2010,  amazon.com has completely moved into the AWS infrastructure.  The following years have seen countless milestones for AWS with the first re:Invent Conference launched in 2012, annual revenues amounted to billions which showed around 90% increase per year, and more new services have been released year per year.  To date there are more than 100 services available through AWS, and these numbers can change depending on new releases.  There are about 103 available core services in 19 categories as of 2018.  These services can sometimes vary depending on the region you have chosen as there are services available on certain regions but are not others.  


AWS has been a leader in the Cloud Infrastructure as a Service and as of 2017 it has held the top position for the 7th consecutive year based on Gartner's Magic Quadrant.
