This book would not have been possible without the help and excellent advice given by my editor Michael Loukides.
Many others contributed to this book directly or indirectly. Special thanks go to Lucas Carlson, Leonard Richardson, Christopher Mylonas, and Jack Truong for their helpful feedback. The community of developers and Amazon staff in the AWS Developer forums has been an invaluable resource for researching the technical details of the Amazon Web Services and understanding how best to use them in the real world.
To the extent that this book provides an accurate and useful reference for developers or users of Amazon Web Services, I owe a debt of gratitude to everyone mentioned above. Any faults, errors, or omissions in this book are my own.
