Social Network Infrastructure - On Premise vs AWS

The table below summarizes each service shown above:
(Ps: AWS has many other services)

VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) “Private Network”
EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) Virtual Machines
EBS (Elastic Block Storage) Disk (attached to the VMs)
RDS (Relational Database Service) Relational Database
DynamoDB NoSQL Database
ElastiCache Database Cache Engine
ELB (Elastic Load Balancer) Load Balancer
S3 (Simple Storage Service) External Storage
Rekognition Content Filter
Lambda Serverless computation
Kinesis Clickstream Analysis Engine
EMR (Elastic MapReduce) Data Processing Platform
Glue Managed ETL Service
Redshift Data Warehouse Service

Quicksight Business Intelligence Tool
CloudFront (& Edge Locations) Content Delivery Network
