I dedicate this book to my family and friends. A special thanks to my loving parents, Hamendra and Shreya Vyas whose words of encouragement and push for tenacity always provided the necessary inspiration. I dedicate this book to my wife Riddhi Vyas who never left my side during the whole writing process and is very special to me. I also dedicate this book to my manager and friend Dr. Manoj Manuja who has supported me throughout the process and given so much encouragement. I will always appreciate all that he has done, especially for helping me to develop my technical skills. And last but not the least, I would like to thank to my best friend and colleague Prabhakaran for being there for me throughout the book program.

He's an open-source developer, speaker, and passionate advocate when it comes to tools and techniques making for smooth and painless release processes.

Thanks to Packt Publishing for giving me the opportunity to review this book and thanks to the author and coordinator for their contributions to this book. I did enjoy reviewing this book and studying AWS further because I got the opportunity to examine several AWS services that I've never used through this review.

I hope this book will be your first step to AWS!
