Abstract
Amazon Web Services, AWS, is a cloud platform. It allows using computation and storage resources in a data center, paying by usage. One of the central principles of AWS is that all interactions with it should be possible via an API: the web console, where computation resources can be manipulated, is just another front end to the API. This allows automating configuration of the infrastructure: so-called “infrastructure as code,” where the computing infrastructure is reserved and manipulated programmatically.
