What is Amazon Fire OS?

Amazon released its first Kindle Fire tablet in 2011. A budget device aimed at bringing the burgeoning tablet form factor and Amazon services to the masses, the original Kindle Fire was pushed as the first viable iPad alternative. Since 2011 Amazon has continued to release a plethora of devices running Fire OS, from updated Kindle Fire tablets to its Fire TV streaming devices. Fire OS is eleven years old now, but confusion surrounding what it is has continued to persist. Is Fire OS a version of Android? Can I download Android apps on Fire tablets? Does Google services even work on Amazon's tablets? These are questions some have asked since the inception of Fire OS.
