[AWSPurityT]

The AWS Purity Test has historically served as a segue from a
complete noob to an AWS expert.
It's a a fun way for AWS devs to track their progress in the world of
acronyms and cloud computing
that we spend the majority of our days in.

Caution: This is not a bucket list. Completion of all items on this
test will likely result in bankruptcy.

*This is based off the original Rice Purity Test.
