In 2013, AWS released more than 200+ features and services. In addition to the launches, we also had a record year in creating self-service content that help customers understand the real value of breadth and depth of our powerful platform. This post summarizes some of the technical content that we published based on the requests we received from customers.

In addition to whitepapers, articles and tutorials, we have hundreds of technical videos and presentations on our YouTube Channel from AWS re:Invent 2013 that help customers build highly available, highly scalable secure applications that leverage the the full potential of the
AWS cloud.

Our customers drive our content roadmap. We received a ton of feedback last year. For example, several customers requested more technical implementation guidance and security best practices. Hence, we built several key reference implementation guides that include easy-to-use, easy-to-launch and easy-to-modify AWS CloudFormation templates for different scenarios. We also published the 5 security-focussed whitepapers including AWS Security Best Practices Whitepaper.

Let us know what would you like us to build this year. We are looking for your feedback as always to help us prioritize our content roadmap.
