+# Responsibilities
+
+## Description 
+
+AWS SIG is responsible for the creation and maintenance of subprojects & subservices necessary to integrate AWS services for the operation and management of Spinnaker on AWS as well as using AWS as a deployment target. 
+
+AWS SIG also acts as a forum for discussions and feature demos for Spinnaker users on AWS users/developers to raise their feature requests and support issues. SIG leads in collaboration with SIG members will develop, maintain and prioritize a backlog of features.  This prioritization will be published as the AWS SIG Roadmap.
+
+
+## Scope of Work
+
+Spinnaker integrations specific to AWS including:
+
+*   Integrations, interfaces, libraries and extension points for all low-level AWS modules such as IAM, storage, networking, load balancers, registry, security, monitoring/logging at the instance or container level
+*   Development of Spinnaker APIs to provide software delivery best practices for AWS compute services which might include, but are not limited to, the following:
+    *   EC2
+    *   ECS / Fargate
+    *   Lambda
+    *   Elastic Beanstalk
+    *   CloudFormation
+*   Integrations for AWS services into the release pipeline
+    *   CodeCommit for source
+    *   CodeBuild for build / bake
+    *   ECR for Docker registry
+    *   CloudWatch for canary analysis (Kayenta)
+*   Support users on their issues and feature requests
+*   Documentation for all things AWS for Spinnaker
+*   Consult with other SIGs and the community on how to apply mechanisms owned by SIG AWS. Examples include:
+    *   Review escalation implications of feature and API designs as it relates to core Spinnaker components (orca, clouddriver, echo, deck, etc)
+    *   AWS Clouddriver implementation and interface design
+    *   Implementing and improving core functionality (such as tests and documentation) to clarify and validate the contract between the core and and the AWS specific functionality
