I wish to dedicate this book to both my loving parents, Ma and Paa. Thank you for all your love, support, encouragement, and patience. I would also like to thank the entire Packt Publishing team, especially Ruchita Bhansali, Athira Laji, and Gaurav Sharma, for their excellent guidance and support.

And finally, a special thanks to one of my favorite bunch of people: the amazing team of developers, support staff, and engineers who work at AWS for such an "AWSome" cloud platform!

Not all those who wander are lost.
