What is AWS?
Answer out loud or in your head first, then compare.
Answer
AWS, or Amazon Web Services, is Amazon's cloud services platform. It offers many different products for running applications, storing data and connecting parts of a system. It isn't a single library you learn in full.
In this offer, the important ones include Lambda for event-driven functions, ECS for managing containers, SQS for queues and S3 for files. These are separate services with different roles. When I say I know AWS, it's worth saying which services I've actually used and which configuration I was responsible for. Deploying an app through someone else's ready-made process doesn't prove independent knowledge of the whole infrastructure.
Why it matters: Practical AWS is an explicit requirement of the role.
Possible follow-ups: Which components would you use for the API, files and work done later?
How did it go? Be honest — “Not yet” puts the question on your review list.
