PHP Oxford meetup – AWS: Demystifying the Cloud of Acronyms (Mark Baker)

Working in Web Development, we speak a language of jargon and acronyms; but take a look at Amazon Web Services (AWS), and even the most hardened Jargonista or Acronymite might quail at the plethora of obscurity and abbreviation that Amazon wrap around their cloud services. Looking at the control panel is a maze of arcane vernacular, and wading through the documentation can be as daunting as deciphering ancient alchemic journals.

So let’s have a go at demystifying the cloud of acronyms, and look at how Innoved Learning provide a high-availability, resilient SaaS (Software as a Service) platform using AWS services.
