A few things for context:

1) This came up b/c somebody else publicly described the author as the inventor of EC2, which created some unintended blowback;

2) The author is well-known in the ops community and still close to a number of people at Amazon, and has no personal or professional interest in hurting those relationships.

Thanks for the context; it helps a lot to know that this fellow was trying to deflect credit where it was due; Not sneak some where it wasn't.
