Appendix A. Amazon Web Services Reference

Amazon Web Services are accessible primarily through SOAP and REST web services with higher-level command lines and language-specific APIs built on top of them. This appendix describes the commands that wrap around those APIs.

Many different higher-level abstractions exist that implement the SOAP and APIs in different programming languages. If you are building tools to manage EC2 or S3, you should identify the library best suited to your programming language and functional needs.
