Running Distributed Computing Jobs on AWS

AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud computing platform that provides a wide range of services such as computing power, storage, and databases to businesses and individuals. AWS is known for its scalability, reliability, and security. It offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model which allows users to only pay for the services they use. AWS is used by many companies such as Netflix, Airbnb, and Slack.

Distributed Computing

Distributed computing technology refers to a system where multiple computers work together to solve a problem. It allows for parallel processing of data across multiple machines, which can lead to faster processing times. Distributed computing technology has become increasingly popular due to the rise of big data. It allows for the processing of large amounts of data that would be too large for a single machine to handle. Some examples of distributed computing technologies include Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink.
