K1: The power of AWS

WOW! I'm really pumped about getting exposure to Amazon Web Services. I'm fascinated (again) by the bevy of resources that are just a few clicks away from anyone with an internet connection. I will definitely use Amazon Web Services for current and future endeavors. The interface is a bit overwhelming at first mainly due to the massive amount of options, but once you get started it clears up and becomes easier to navigate. I'm also impressed by the useful and extensive documentation provided by Amazon, which really helped me get started.

I enjoy the level of monitoring available through the Amazon infrastructure, and can see the value in having such useful metrics at one's fingertips. The AWS Elastic Beanstalk is also another extremely powerful feature of the AWS toolkit for Eclipse. I look forward to developing and deploying web applications via this framework.
