Benefits
Cost savings
AWS offers low, pay-as-you-go pricing with no up-front expenses or long-term commitments. We are able to build and manage a global infrastructure at scale, and pass the cost saving benefits onto you in the form of lower prices. With the efficiencies of our scale and expertise, we have reduced prices 115 times since AWS launched in 2006.
Agility and instant elasticity
AWS provides a massive global cloud infrastructure that allows you to quickly innovate, experiment, and iterate. Instead of waiting weeks or months for hardware, you can instantly deploy new applications, instantly scale up as your workload grows, and instantly scale down based on demand.
Flexibility
AWS is a language and operating system agnostic platform. You choose the development platform or programming model that makes the most sense for your mission. You can select which services you use and choose how you use them. This flexibility allows you to focus on innovation, not infrastructure.
Security
Experts recognize that security in the cloud is better than it is with on-premises infrastructure. Broad security certification and accreditation, data encryption at rest and in transit, hardware security modules, and strong physical security all contribute to a more secure way to manage your organization’s IT infrastructure.
Digital Sovereignty at AWS
Our approach to digital sovereignty is to continue to make the AWS Cloud sovereign-by-design—as it has been from day one. We are committed to helping our customers meet digital sovereignty requirements and offering all AWS customers the most advanced set of sovereignty controls and features available in the cloud.

Tens of thousands of government, education, nonprofit, and healthcare customers around the world depend on the cloud with the most functionality, innovation, and experience.
