Understanding the Features of AWS Dashboard

🌟 What is AWS Dashboard?

The AWS Dashboard (also called the AWS Management Console) is like the main screen of your Amazon cloud account. You use it to see, manage, and control everything – like storage, servers, and databases – without needing coding skills.


🎯 Why is it Useful?

Just like your phone has apps, AWS has services. The dashboard is where you go to open, organize, and control these services.
