I think you're saying, that you don't really understand what these services are used for, or how they relate to the technologies you're already used to - For example, what's the difference between SQL (mysql, postgresql, etc) versus RDS, Dynamo, Redshift, and NoSql? What is an "object store," and how would you start to use it? You're looking for a basic high level understanding of what these things are, and how they're supposed to be used, and stuff like that, right? I know the way I started was to start with the list of services offered by amazon and openstack, and start googling "Amazon S3 versus" to find competing products in the same category of service, and then read all the wikipedia articles, and then start using them for experimental purposes, to get an idea what their limitations are and how they're used... _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
