I put this image together from two screenshots from the video Introduction to AWS Services (Jun 9, 2019). May be helpful to those learning the basics of AWS. In the video, the instructor assembles the infrastructure piece-by-piece explaining each role.
The table below summarizes each service shown above:
(Ps: AWS has many other services)
| AWS Service | Service role |

| 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 |
