Is there any amazon web services (aws) simulation/emulation available?

I am new to AWS development and want to use python interface boto for the development. I am currently using Google App Engine and it has simulation platform included in its SDK that I am using for development. I am wondering, if there is such simulation/emulation platform exists for AWS also. If there is no such platform then How can I as developer test my web apps before going to actual AWS servers.

There are some pretty sophisticated Cloud service mocking frameworks out there, like kinesalite, dynalite, or moto.

You could also take a look at LocalStack, a framework which combines existing best-of-breed tools and provides a fully functional local cloud environment that can be used for integration testing. This allows you to test your applications offline, without connectivity and without paying for any of the cloud services.
