For someone familiar with the products, yes. But for someone new to AWS most of these options don't make sense. I'm looking at a menu with hundreds of options like Snowglobe and Beanstalk and I have no idea where to start. Are they trying to brand their trademarks as the defacto name for the service (like Kleenex and ChapStick have done)?

99% of their products aren't useful to the individual computer guy, and are geared toward enterprise. Ignore them and use the specific ones you need.

Oh, all of AWS is terribly not-intuitive to use. Just creating an EC2 instance is amazingly complicated.
