AWS Training 102

Stay tuned for next meetup Size matters! Extreme scaling tips and tricks from the masters. Date and speakers to be announced.

Interested in learning to use AWS? We are organizing a hands-on training session in Palo Alto. The training will cover most of Amazon's Web Services, including EC2, S3, SQS, and SimpleDB, in around 6 hours.

Trainees get early access to closed AWS features like SimpleDB and Persistent Storage for Amazon EC2 (on request).

The proceeds will go towards financing my honey moon next Fall, for which my fiancée and I would like to travel the world. We have wanted to do that for a long time.
