Risky to copyright it to Amazon at the bottom when it's not actually them....begging for a lawyer's call. Hilarious, though.

LOL, though the services selection screen on the dashboard has changed to a monochromatic one now, with line icons and all services categorised by operational type. The depicted poster is the older AWS dashboard, no?

Mastering even one of AWS services is mission impossible, due to their awesome, so-easy-to-understand, state of the art documentation. I think we can all go back to our parent's basement.
Their documentation is always so up-to-date, and easy to discover too! I've never once searched for something, only to stumble onto a page of docs that's 3 years old and no longer relevant. Nope!
They take the most direct way of explaining things too, instead of always going in a roundabout way. Their design decisions do not leave anything to be desired and you're never left scratching your head as to why anyone would ever build something this way especially when there are dozens, dozens of people asking for it to work the way any sane human being would think it should work. Great for kids!
Agreed. But as an exception, I was totally surprised to find how good the aws cloudformation doc's are. Hilariously they are now my starting point for understanding the other aws APIs.
As a high school kid, I'm hooked on digital ocean and azure because the github student pack gives me free credits ($25 a month on azure as long as I'm a student, and $50 credit on DO, which works out to be 10 free months on their $5 option). AWS is probably too late in that regard.

n/m. Doesn't look like it's done by amazon.
Apparently from Kyle Conroy. Perhaps https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-conroy-19a07273/ ?

IAM is perhaps the hardest area to get your head around but everything else I've use is very well documented.

Nice.
What better way to get kids hooked on AWS early than to make it free for high school kids?

Kevin and Kyle, really???
p.s. Fuck you for your tiny brigade of down votes
I'm on AEDST, was paying attention yesterday but I missed a beat when I saw this today (April 2nd). These things are really stretching out.
It makes me ill every time I look at the thing.
