(Same disclosure as before. I work for AWS) Amazon works hard to make sure that there are case studies out there to learn from. They publish numerous case studies on the AWS website that people can read and learn from. The case studies can be found here: http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/ There are also a number of white papers that AWS publishes for best practices and how-to's and the like. Some can be found here: http://aws.amazon.com/architecture/ http://aws.typepad.com/ http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/ They also offer online and regional classes the go into specifics of certain services and solutions. Upcoming events can be found here: http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/events/ http://aws.amazon.com/resources/webinars/ I hope that helps.
