MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Aurora are listed together as interchangeable relational database options; MS SQL Server is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
Git and SubVersion are listed as interchangeable source control options.
SOAP and REST are listed together; REST is used as the primary with SOAP as an alternative.
