Cloud Computing featuring Amazon Web Services an unofficial presentation
I am... Brian Kaney  from  Vermonster . We are a 3 person shop in the Back Bay. We've been around for over 8 years and mostly do ruby, perl and python stuff. I do  not  work for Amazon. I don't know every Amazon offering –  maybe you can help ?
Warning! There are lots of acronyms and abbreviations. I'll be bouncing from CLI, Web management console(s) and ruby code (and slides) This has been (somewhat) rehearsed but things happen... but at least you didn't have to pay and there's beer afterward.
