                                     SEE instructions
other tips?
•   AWS is a learn by doing platform. Just get involved with simple services to start

•   Support is great, use it. They actually have real people.

•   Keep saving AMI's - useful to keep backups and a library

•   Build with multiple boxes in mind
•   Be wary of 3rd party unsupported projects (s3fs)
•   Cloudberry S3 Explorer is pretty nifty - free version as well - CF invalidation
•   Working across regions gets tricky - use sommet like Pure VPN to channel
    yourself through the underbelly
•   Use NewRelic for free - it saves lives - signup via www.newrelic.com/aws for free pkg
