EC2 Instance create date and time

Some times you may want to retrieve the creation date and time of an EC2 instance.
From the docs, an EC2 instance has the property launchTime(http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiReference-ItemType-RunningInstancesItemType.html), you can easily build a boto script that queries for all instances and reports the launchTime(http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#module-boto.ec2.instance).

AWS IAM user creation and access

IAM user set up can be found here:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/Using_SettingUpUser.html

Give them 'Power User' if they need to create instances and fully utilize AWS services.

They will use a different URL (not aws.amazon.com) then you use to access your account.  More here:
