The AGPL just means that any other entity (amazon) building a business on top of it, including just hosting the code must release their copy of the sofware and their modifications.
They can charge for the software and hosting, they just must share the code.
That is why RedHat can charge for their version of linux.
Now you as the copyright owner can release your code under the AGPL but also release it under any other license. For example you could have your project on GitHub as AGPL, but then sell copies of it licensed under MIT or BSD licenses if a customer was willing to pay.
That is called dual-licensig model.
