Organizations use AWS to deploy applications, conduct data analytics, manage backup and storage systems, and scale operations efficiently while reducing capital expenditures. By providing reliable, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure, AWS enables customers to minimize operational complexity and focus resources on their core business objectives.
