**Amazon Elastic Transcoder** is media transcoding in the cloud. It is designed to be a highly scalable, easy-to-use, and cost-eﬀective way for developers and businesses to convert (or transcode) media ﬁles from their source format into versions that will play back on devices like smartphones, tablets, and PCs.

**Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS)** is a managed live streaming solution that is quick and easy to set up, and ideal for creating interactive video experiences. You can easily customize and enhance the audience experience through the Amazon IVS player SDK and timed metadata APIs, allowing you to build a more valuable relationship with your viewers on your own websites and applications.

**Amazon Nimble Studio** empowers creative studios to produce visual effects, animation, and interactive content entirely in the cloud, from storyboard sketch to final deliverable. 

**AWS Elemental Appliances and Software** solutions bring advanced video processing and delivery technologies into your data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility. 
AWS Elemental Live, Server and Conductor come in two variants: ready-to-deploy appliances, or AWS-licensed software that you install on your own hardware. AWS Elemental Link is a compact hardware device that sends live video to the cloud for encoding and delivery to viewers.

**AWS Elemental MediaConnect** is a high-quality transport service for live video.

**AWS Elemental MediaConvert** is a file-based video transcoding service with broadcast-grade features. With AWS Elemental MediaConvert, you can focus on delivering compelling media experiences without having to worry about the complexity of building and operating your own video processing infrastructure.

**AWS Elemental MediaLive** is a broadcast-grade live video processing service. It lets you create high-quality video streams for delivery to broadcast televisions and internet-connected multiscreen devices, like connected TVs, tablets, smart phones, and set-top boxes. 

**AWS Elemental MediaPackage** reliably prepares and protects your video for delivery over the Internet. 

**AWS Elemental MediaStore** is an AWS storage service optimized for media. It gives you the performance, consistency, and low latency required to deliver live streaming video content. 

**AWS Elemental MediaTailor** lets video providers insert individually targeted advertising into their video streams without sacrificing broadcast-level quality-of-service.

## Migration and Transfer

**AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN)** allows you to quickly realize the benefits of migrating applications to the cloud without changes and with minimal downtime.
by launching non-disruptive tests before migrating, you can be confident that your most critical applications such as SAP, Oracle, and SQL Server will work seamlessly on AWS.

**AWS Migration Hub** provides a single location to track the progress of application migrations across multiple AWS and partner solutions.  This allows you to quickly get progress updates across all of your migrations, easily identify and troubleshoot any issues, and reduce the overall time and effort spent on your migration projects.

**AWS Application Discovery Service** helps enterprise customers plan migration projects by gathering information about their on-premises data centers.


**AWS Database Migration Service** helps you migrate databases to AWS easily and securely. The source database remains fully operational during the migration, minimizing downtime to applications that rely on the database.

**AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)** is an agentless service which makes it easier and faster for you to migrate thousands of on-premises workloads to AWS. AWS SMS allows you to automate, schedule, and track incremental replications of live server volumes, making it easier for you to coordinate large-scale server migrations.

**The AWS Snow** Family helps customers that need to run operations in austere, non-data center environments, and in locations where there's lack of consistent network connectivity. The Snow Family comprises AWS Snowcone, AWS Snowball, and AWS Snowmobile and offers a number of physical devices and capacity points, most with built-in computing capabilities. 

**AWS Snowcone** is the smallest member of the AWS Snow Family of edge computing edge storage, and data transfer devices, weighing in at 4.5 pounds (2.1 kg) with 8 terabytes of usable storage. 

**AWS Snowball** is an edge computing, data migration, and edge storage device that comes in two options. Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices provide both block storage and Amazon S3-compatible object storage, and 40 vCPUs. 

**AWS Snowmobile** is an exabyte-scale data transfer service used to move extremely large amounts of data to AWS. You can transfer up to 100 PB per Snowmobile, a 45-foot long ruggedized shipping container, pulled by a semi-trailer truck. 


**AWS DataSync** is a data transfer service that makes it easy for you to automate moving data between on-premises storage and Amazon S3 or Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). 

**AWS Transfer Family** provides fully managed support for file transfers directly into and out of Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS.  Getting started with the AWS Transfer Family is easy; there is no infrastructure to buy and set up.

## Networking and Content Delivery

**Amazon API Gateway** is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. 

**Amazon CloudFront** is a fast content delivery network (CDN) service that securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to customers globally with low latency, high transfer speeds, all within a developer-friendly environment. 

**Amazon Route 53** is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service.
Amazon Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in AWS—such as EC2 instances, Elastic Load Balancing load balancers, or Amazon S3 buckets—and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of AWS. 

**Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)** lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define. 

**AWS App Mesh** makes it easy to monitor and control microservices running on AWS. App Mesh standardizes how your microservices communicate, giving you end-to-end visibility and helping to ensure high-availability for your applications.

**AWS Cloud Map** is a cloud resource discovery service. With Cloud Map, you can define custom names for your application resources, and it maintains the updated location of these dynamically changing resources. This increases your application availability because your web service always discovers the most up-to-date locations of its resources.

**AWS Direct Connect** makes it easy to establish a dedicated network connection from your premises to AWS. Using AWS Direct Connect, you can establish private connectivity between AWS and your data center, office, or co-location environment, which in many cases can reduce your network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience than Internet-based connections.

**AWS Global Accelerator** is a networking service that improves the availability and performance of the applications that you offer to your global users.
AWS Global Accelerator  makes it easier to manage your global applications by providing static IP addresses that act as a fixed entry point to your application hosted on AWS which eliminates the complexity of managing specific IP addresses for different AWS Regions and Availability Zones. AWS Global Accelerator is easy to set up, configure and manage.

**AWS PrivateLink** simplifies the security of data shared with cloud-based applications by eliminating the exposure of data to the public Internet. AWS PrivateLink provides private connectivity between VPCs, AWS services, and on-premises applications, securely on the Amazon network. 

**AWS Transit Gateway** is a service that enables customers to connect their Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and their on-premises networks to a single gateway. As you grow the number of workloads running on AWS, you need to be able to scale your networks across multiple accounts and Amazon VPCs to keep up with the growth. 

**AWS Virtual Private Network** solutions establish secure connections between your on-premises networks, remote offices, client devices, and the AWS global network. AWS VPN is comprised of two services: AWS Site-to-Site VPN and AWS Client VPN. Each service provides a highly-available, managed, and elastic cloud VPN solution to protect your network traffic.

**Elastic Load Balancing (ELB)** automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses.
