[nfbcs] Has Anyone Worked With Amazon Web Services?

[Tom Moore]

Afternoon all,
Things with aws can at times be costly, but then at the same time they can
be reasonable as well.
For dipping your toes in the water they have the Lightsail offering that you
can use to start to learn things that doesn't cost much as well as for the
first year they have some services they offer for free or reduced cost so
that you can see if the offerings are right for you.
To really get the power out of aws it would be a good idea to have a
programmer on staff that can help you get the most of the different
offerings they have to offer.

Tom

I agree with Chris. Also, I would consider AWS to be a rather expensive web
server platform. Unless you have sophisticated applications you need to
write.
