What is AWS?

[Nectarine]

Hi! This is probably a rediculous question, but I haven't been able to find the answer through google. What is an "AWS Clone?" I've heard it referenced all over the place in different forums, but I'm not entirely sure what AWS is (other than having something to do with amazon).

Any help you guys could give on this question is greatly appreciated!

AWS = Amazon Web Services

An "AWS Clone" is usually described as a site that is an ecommerce site by using only Amazon products, rather than their own inventory.

In a nutshell: a 3rd party reseller of Amazon stuff.
