Chapter 8. And Now…

We believe that every app is unique and requires special attention and care. You spend considerable energy and other resources developing products and services powered by web applications. AWS makes it easier to transform that energy into value for your users.

The intention of this book is to get you started with AWS, and more importantly to keep you going when success arrives. We have explained how virtual infrastructures differ from physical infrastructures. It’s easy (and cheap) to experiment, and it’s affordable to scale. With services like SQS, SimpleDB, and SNS, you can take everything a step further—you are ready for what they call “Internet-scale.”
