[NFBCS] Accessibility of AWS with JAWS

[Peter]

Hello Brian and everyone,

	Have you investigated having someone from AWS present at the NFBCS
Meeting to discuss their offerings in more detail and to gather feedback in
the hopes of creating a dialogue to address accessibility issues? Please
consider this idea. I have lots of AWS books but need to decide what I want
to do with it before diving into it's landscape. All the best.

Peter Donahue

	hello.  I'm not Tom, but I think I can answer your question, or, at
least, I can shed more light on it.  AWS is a huge suite of services, all
with various levels of accessibility, or non-accessibility, depending on
your perspective. To make matters worse, there is a lot of overlap between
these various services, meaning it is insufficient to ask if AWS database
services are accessible, for example.  As an example, you can buy an Amazon
virtual machine, either using Amazon's EC2 platform, or their Lightsail
platform.  In general, the EC2 platform is more accessible than the
Lightsail platform, though both have their issues.  So, in order for us to
answer your questions, we'd need to know exactly which AWS services your
company wants to use when they deploy their cloud strategy.  Also,there is a
difference between using the service, i.e, accessing a database hosted by
Amazon, versus administering services hosted by Amazon, i.e. creating a
database hosted by Amazon, or looking at your utilization stats in the
Amazon dashboard to see how much they're charging you.  In general,
accessing a hosted database would work the same as accessing any database
remotely, i.e. you would use the usual clients and tools you use to get at
the database.  So, if all you're doing is managing data in the database,
rather than managing the database provider, I think you'll be fine.

Hope that helps.
-Brian
