"AWS is a service by Amazon that runs software for you in computers connected to the internet" is still inaccurate, but has a meaning for the layperson other than "tech buzzwords with superlatives".
I'm missing a description of virtual machines / containers but that might be going into too much detail.
Wikipedia:
> A supercomputer is a computer with great speed and memory.
AWS's machines have more memory and CPUs that you would find in personal computers, with gigabit networking.
Granted, AWS does a lot of other things: split these machines into smaller VMs, allow users to bid on prices, offer higher-level services like queues and distributed storage.
If this is the greatest technical inaccuracy, they're doing pretty good.
