AWS approval needed? #203

Just curious if everyone using Bees with Machine Guns seeks Amazon's approval to simulate attacks? Do you provide instance IDs on the form, or just the accounts that will be used in the simulation?

I'll be running this script in GovCloud, but targeting CloudFront distributions in commercial accounts.

I don't personally see the need to let them know, since your not attacking per say. This falls more into load testing category.
