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
