Thats not really the point, I think.

It allowed me in to at least test out the interface, where I was able to determine that some of the pretty stuff on the home page (autoscaling, for example) doesn't seem to be available yet.

Sorry, I tried to get a balance between showing what we currently support and what we are working towards on the homepage, not sure if I got it right.

RDS support is coming soon (approximately one month) and ELB support to be added shortly after that. AutoScaling and Availability Zones are both high priority, but we have very limited resources and I can't commit to a timeframe at the moment.

Thanks for creating IAM credentials and trying us out. If you have any suggestions on how to improved credential handling, please let me know.

I suppose creating a privilege-less IAM user to test web apps is going to become as prevalent as having a throwaway junk email address.
