If I had to explain Amazon Web Services (AWS) to my grandmother (or any other novice), I wouldn't tell her that it is a comprehensive cloud computing platform that offers scalable solutions, etc. (although it is).

Instead, I would keep it super simple, avoid technical jargon and focus on the essentials.
That's my approach for this video. In just a few minutes, I'll explain what AWS is, why you should use it, what problems it solves, and what basic services you might want to explore further. Enjoy!
