        abstract = {This study examines the growing influence of Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the cloud computing ecosystem and its transformative effect on business operations and IT infrastructure. As enterprises migrate to cloud platforms, AWS emerges as a preferred provider due to its flexibility, robust security features, and cost advantages. The research explores adoption patterns, core benefits such as performance efficiency and system reliability, and key challenges, including financial oversight and data security concerns. Data was collected through IT professionals’ surveys and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods. The results underscore AWS’s role in enhancing business agility while identifying the need for continuous governance of cost and security. Furthermore, the paper presents strategies for optimizing AWS deployment and offers recommendations to help organizations fully capitalize on its capabilities. Overall, the findings highlight how AWS supports technological innovation and efficiency across various industries, reinforcing its leadership in the cloud services domain.},
