  • Amazon provides reliable and highly available computational resources, such as EC2, RDS, and Application load balancers, which were the customers' major requirements for application deployment. The need for these resources necessitated their instantaneous creation
  • A large number of Amazon APIs can be executed via Terraform to provision new infrastructure on demand
  • Amazon has the capability and reliability to deliver these resources through code in no time and in a manner that provides scale, security, and robustness as required
