AWS was launched in 2006, pioneering cloud computing. Key milestones include:

๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฒ: Launch of AWS with S3 and EC2.
๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฎ: Introduction of Redshift and DynamoDB.
๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฐ: AWS Lambda brought serverless computing.
๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ: AWS re:Invent announced new services like AWS Glue Elastic Views and Amazon EBS io2 Block Express.

AWS has grown tremendously, constantly innovating to meet evolving customer needs and setting industry standards.

I'm thrilled to continue this journey and share more insights in the coming days. Stay tuned!
