Amazon launches AWS Emulator, a high-fidelity environment for more than 200 AWS services

In 2004, I picked @SwamiSivasubram as my intern. It was probably one of the best decisions I have made as Amazon's CTO. He learned early that you can only test a system properly in a high-fidelity copy of the environment it will actually run in. AWS Emulator, launched today and written and tested entirely by agents, gives you that kind of environment for more than 200 AWS services.
