The lone number one- Amazon Web Services have been successfully luring customers with their wide array of products and services. Amazon’s IaaS services includes wide range of EC2 instance types to NoSQL databases to Hadoop and MapReduce services to virtual private cloud capability and a vast software marketplace.
