"The easiest way to understand Amazon's cloud is that it is just another version of the computer, Android phone, or Amazon storage device that is located remotely. It is similar to your hard drive or USB drive, except you access it via the Internet instead of directly on your computer. The Amazon cloud can also host applications and execute them remotely. Again, this is similar to your computer, cell phone, or any other device you may use. Whenever you make a phone call, ask Alexa for information, or order something from Amazon, you are using Amazon's cloud."
