There it is

Learning AWS (Amazon Web Services) is quite an undertaking. There are so many different modules and programs to get familiar with.

This was a good way to guide into an introduction of AWS.

Personally, I prefer Azure DevOps, but this is still a good tool to know.

I found what I was looking for in this book - a high level of offers that AWS provides. Though I didn't go through it, the author talks about how to setup and start using AWS components.
