Highlights: 1st AMIMOTO: WordPress + Amazon Web Services Hands-on Philippines

We’d like to thank Mozilla Community Spaces and Mr. Bob Reyes for hosting the first AMIMOTO hands-on and meetup in the Philippines last 16 December 2015!

WordPress & AWS

AWS on the other hand, is one of the biggest enterprises in the tech industry that’s also the pioneer in lots of innovative products and services.
