Amazon EC2

Amazon Web Services suite spans a vast array of gadgets and I'd not for a second call myself an expert on all of them. But then nor would I trust anyone who claimed to be.

I have however run many projects using them, including simple EC2 instances, S3 buckets, RDS databases, API gateways, Lambda functions and Cloudflare.

What I'd say regarding AWS is that I'm very familiar with the basics and more than happy to pick up new tricks as and when they're needed.

I've been using Amazon EC2 since Jul 2022 (3 years).
