     • Amazon Redshift: A fully managed data warehouse service for big data analytics.
4. App Services
   • AWS offers services for deploying and managing applications:
     • AWS Elastic Beanstalk: An easy-to-use service for deploying and scaling web applications and services.
     • AWS App Runner: A fully managed service that makes it easy to quickly deploy containerized web applications and APIs.
     • Amazon API Gateway: Enables developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs.
5. Networking
   • AWS provides networking services for creating and managing network resources:
     • Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud): Enables you to provision a logically isolated section of the AWS cloud where you can launch AWS resources.
     • AWS Direct Connect: Provides a dedicated network connection from your premises to AWS.
     • Elastic Load Balancing (ELB): Distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets.
6. Identity
