I'm currently writing a book about AWS best practices. With Amazon's re:invent conference going on, this seemed like a good time to ask for feedback on content. What AWS topics are you interested in learning more about? Are there any areas that have particularly painful learning curves you would like to see addressed in a book?
Any feedback on topics will be awesome. Also, there's a free 30 day course on AWS best practices at the book launch site (<a href="http://awsarchitecture.com" rel="nofollow">http://awsarchitecture.com</a>) if you're interested.
I'm interested in hearing more about Amazon beanstalk. Haven't personally used it. But does having my ec2 under beanstalk take care of securing my instances?
