Explain the levels of abstraction in AWS to someone without a technical background.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a the customer the ability to own their computer hardware (s) and basically rent the real estate as your computer(s) are located at a warehouse. You get into your Custom built PC by way of the internet from anywhere in the world. This provides people with endless of possibilities of what they could build now that there is a service that will build it for you. And it is the way every person will interact with hardware in the future, making it easier to access and manage everything as you are in an airport, at a coffee shop, in your car, etc.

What are the control plane and data plane responsible for in container abstraction?

Control Plan and Data Plane are where the CPU, Memory, Network, and Storage are all being kept and maintained in for example a Windows host, or a Linux host

Where does AWS Lambda fall in the layers of abstraction and what makes it so special?

AWS Lambada Allows you to simply start with code and let AWS access what you need to run that code, instead of starting with a full operating System like Windows or MAC. This allows for literally begin outside the box and lets AWS access which box will best fit for your project as you go, you can scale down and up through out your project.
