Amazon.com has moved beyond selling merchandise on the model of a
book or department store. This book reveals that they have harnessed the
power of their diversified computer infrastructure and added products
that offer businesses rental space and use of their computer program
resources. For example, one service is called the Amazon Simple Storage
Service which provides unlimited data storage space that can be
replicated on more than one computer server. Another called Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) allows a company to run its own web sites
replicated on several servers. And there are several more services. This
book offers detailed instructions on how to get started using these
facilities and how to write applications in this environment. Many
programming code examples are provided. It is a technical presentation
requiring readers to be familiar with computer applications development.
