Eight Years (And Counting) of Cloud Computing
by Jeff Barr | on 14 MAR 2014 | in Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon EC2, Amazon Elastic MapReduce, Amazon S3 | Permalink |
We launched Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006 with a press release and a simple blog post. We knew that the developer community was interested in and hungry for powerful, scalable, and useful web services and we were eager to see how they would respond.
S3 and the Amazon Values
Almost every company has a mission statement of some kind. At Amazon.com, we are guided by our Leadership Principles. We use these principles as part of the interviewing process, and revisit them during our annual reviews. I thought back to the launch of S3 and the long string of additional features that we have added to it since then, and tried to match them up to some of the leadership principles.
Customer Obsession – Before we wrote a line of code, we talked to lots of potential customers so that we could have a good understanding of the features that they would like

English for Writing Research Papers
Useful Phrases
Many non-native researchers begin their writing career by reading extensively about their
topic in English, and noting down useful generic phrases that they can then ‘paste’ into
their own work. You can use such phrases as a template / structure for your paper into
which you insert your own data. You at least know that these ready-made phrases are in
correct English. You do not risk being accused of plagiarism because of the very generic
nature of the phrases.
This document presents lists of frequently used phrases that have a general acceptance in
all disciplines that you can use in specific sections of your paper. This means that they

Attention-Getting Words and
Phrases For Hot-Selling Copy
The right words help you express the function of your product or service
with flair. They add color and drama to your presentation to make it more
interesting. Try to use words that evoke emotions and vivid mental pictures. Let
your prospect enjoy a little fantasizing about what his or her life could be like.
Employ selected words solely for their shock value. Stop readers in their
tracks. You demand attention by using words and phrases not normally associated
with your type of business, product, service, or your chosen communications
vehicle.

AWS Glossary
T2: T2 instances are Burstable Performance Instances that provide a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst above the baseline. The baseline performance and ability to burst are governed by CPU Credits. Each T2 instance receives CPU Credits continuously at a set rate depending on the instance size. T2 instances accrue CPU Credits when they are idle, and use CPU credits when they are active. T2 instances are a good choice for workloads that don’t use the full CPU often or consistently, but occasionally need to burst (e.g. web servers, developer environments and small databases).
Burstable Performance Instances: Provide a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst above the baseline.
M4: M4 family is the latest generation of General Purpose Instances. This family provides a balance of compute, memory, and network resources.
M3: This family includes the M3 instance types and provides a balance of compute, memory, and network resources.
