• AWS provides a bunch of "Managed Services" where you don't need to think about servers
• S3 and Dynamo are examples of this kind of thing
• These services are very simple but you don't get a ton of control
• You don't need to make updates, handle operating system config, etc
• You get charged for API usage -- not uptime
• Services where you don't need to think about servers and that charge by usage are called "serverless"
