Difference between R shiny apps in Shinyapps.io and AWS

Hi all,

I have a R shiny app. I was asked to run this in AWS(Amazon web service) from a client. May I know, what is the difference between running the app in Shinyapp.io and and running it in AWS?

Could you please let me know the difference

The difference is that shinyapps.io is a service that allows you to simply "publish" your app without worrying about software installation, server configuration, networking, etc. While AWS provides you with a virtual machine where you would have to handle all this stuff by your self, it is much more flexible, but it requires more knowledge and work from your part.
