AWS has extensive documentation on their own site. Also, stackoverflow.com has lots of questions & answers. Finally, I highly recommend reading Eric Hammond's blog posts over the years, he is one of the most knowledgeable EC2/AWS users around - https://twitter.com/esh https://twitter.com/esh

  Also, if you want to go through a few self-paced labs, instead of docs, Amazon is partnered with an outfit, Cloud vLab, that has a platform for self-paced labs called qwikLAB. They have 3 AWS-related labs, each one requiring the purchase of a token for $29.99. https://aws.amazon.com/training/self-paced-labs/ https://aws.amazon.com/training/self-paced-labs/ Some details: https://qwiklab.zendesk.com/entries/25029147-Jeff-Barr-7-29-13-AWS-blog-announcing-run-qwiklab-com https://qwiklab.zendesk.com/entries/25029147-Jeff-Barr-7-29-... A review (in brief, the guy enjoyed doing the labs and learned from them, but felt, for the price, they could've gone more in-depth): https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/review/product-reviews/ref=dtl_prp_reviews_read_more?ie=UTF8&asin=B00BR5CN0M#_3BT7P9BWM6DN9 https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/review/product-reviews/re...

    The AWS Activate initiative for startups appears to give self-starters (boostrappers, I think) a free lab credit, amongst other things: https://aws.amazon.com/activate/ https://aws.amazon.com/activate/

  "Programming Amazon EC2" mentioned using the "Alestic" Ubuntu image rather the one from Canonical directly, but it didn't elaborate on who/what alestic was. I appreciate the information and will definitely look over the site. I already see on the front page that there's a new command line rather than the one the book was using.
