 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Amazon Web Services is a commercial Cloud Provider that supplies computing, storage, networking, database, security, management, and related technology services through geographically distributed cloud infrastructure.
 +
 +Amazon Web Services commonly uses the abbreviation **AWS**.
 +
 +Within Crucible, Amazon Web Services can serve as a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_platform|Deployment Platform]] on which Crucible creates and manages Infrastructure Environments.
 +
 +Amazon Web Services provides proprietary service interfaces, resource models, identity mechanisms, configuration formats, and operational services. A Crucible Provider Implementation can isolate those provider-specific dependencies from provider-independent Crucible Descriptions and Infrastructure Baselines.

 +===== Note =====

 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A Crucible Provider Implementation translates a provider-independent Infrastructure Baseline into AWS resources, including virtual networks, compute instances, storage resources, identity policies, and security controls.
