The technology allows subscribers to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers, available all the time, through the Internet . AWS's version of virtual computers emulate most of the attributes of a real computer including hardware (CPU (s) & GPU (s) for processing, local / RAM memory, hard - disk / SSD storage); a choice of operating systems; networking; and pre-loaded application software such as web servers, databases, CRM, etc . Each AWS system also virtualizes its console I / O (keyboard, display, and mouse), allowing AWS subscribers to connect to their AWS system using a modern browser . The browser acts as a window into the virtual computer, letting subscribers log - in, configure and use their virtual systems just as they would a real physical computer . They can choose to deploy their AWS systems to provide internet - based services for themselves and their customers . </P> <P> The AWS technology is implemented at server farms throughout the world, and maintained by the Amazon subsidiary . Fees are based on a combination of usage, the hardware / OS / software / networking features chosen by the subscriber, required availability, redundancy, security, and service options . Subscribers can pay for a single virtual AWS computer, a dedicated physical computer, or clusters of either . As part of the subscription agreement, Amazon provides security for subscribers' system . AWS operates from many global geographical regions including 6 in North America . </P>
