Key Points

  1. AWS services can come at 3 layers: iaas, paas, saas
  2. Most references to AWS refer to paas - EC2 instances and the services that run on them
  3. EC2 instances can be Windows or Linux
  4. A low-cost iaas option is LightSail - a VPS server that is fixed price, low-cost with internet connectivity etc - easier to plan than EC2 costs
  5. Effective cost management of AWS resources and services is a HUGE issue for most companies
  6. EBS - elastic block storage - can be mounted and file system created for use. can be attached to any single instance

Ed Izzo AWS Tips 


Great catching up as always, Jim. Maybe we'll finally meet in person post-vaccination this summer!

Here are Amazon's Leadership Principles. If you can relate those principles (and their sub-principles) to your career and tell a compelling story, you'll have an excellent chance of joining the company. Of course, watching this year's re:Invent keynotes doesn't hurt either.
You can search for jobs here. I can only submit a single referral, so decide on the one job that best suits/interests you. I just need the Job ID to get started. After I submit the referral you'll get an email with details on how to proceed with the application.
And to be transparent, I do get a kickback if you're hired, but it's not huge. Of the many people I've encouraged to apply since joining, you're only one of a handful of folks I'm willing to provide a referral for.
Keep me posted, and Happy Holidays!

create an admin user acct 

If you don't already have an access key for your AWS account root user, don't create one unless you absolutely need to. Instead, use your account email address and password to sign in to the AWS Management Console and create an IAM user for yourself that has administrative permissions.
