Social Media

basic
communication
Enhanced Content

Definition

Online platforms where people share content, communicate, and connect with friends and communities. Like digital town squares where people gather and talk.

Real-World Example

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok are social media platforms where people share photos, videos, and thoughts.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Social media is an application category (online platforms for sharing and communication), not a single cloud service. Cloud providers offer building blocks commonly used to run social media apps—compute, databases, storage, CDN, identity, analytics, and moderation/ML—but there is no direct one-to-one managed service called “Social Media” in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or OCI.
