Hello! I find it incredible that this is a devops community. When I try to ask for help with likes, which takes less than 10 seconds, in an article, they delete my message. I go to another channel and they say no! What kind of community is this? Others can share links, but when I share one from the same AWS Builder, they delete or reject it. Can you explain what is going on?

seeking advice: What types of use of AWS in personal projects would make an early career candidate stand out?
Trying to figure out which features/services I should use to satisfy meaningfully this frequent bullet in backend / fullstack / platform intern job descriptions
• "Experience with / Exposure to ... cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)." sometimes they'll mention s3, dynamodb, cloudwatch etc.
My most immediate goal is to deploy a MERN app, I'm getting an initial version up on Vercel/Railway to have something to show while I learn, but want the AWS experience. I've had LLMs tell me S3 + Cloudfront and AppRunner would be solid, or it might be too managed. Perhaps Elastic Beanstalk or ECS Fargate is better. It kind of loops around that, with some saying Beanstalk is old fashioned. Thought I'd ask some humans! What gives a strong signal?
(i briefly (1 year) did sales/marketing in devops and now am transitioning into SWE, finishing a cs degree and applying to internships mostly. So a lot of cloud/devops terms are familiar at high level but haven't really used any cloud providers personally)

Hello!
I'm excited to share github.com/sqlxpert/aws-rcp-s3-require-intelligent-tiering , a resource control policy (RCP) that enforces the initial storage class for objects uploaded to S3 buckets with a particular bucket tag. (I am a fan of Intelligent Tiering and that's the likely application, but you can change the storage class and the tag.)
It uses new AWS features, including S3 attribute-based access control (ABAC), introduced in November, 2025. There's also an optional service control policy (SCP) to prevent non-exempt IAM roles from enrolling and disenrolling buckets.
There is a CloudFormation template as well as a native Terraform module. Multiple installations are supported, for different storage classes and tags.
I hope it's useful, and I hope I'm earning my keep (unpaid 😆) as a new AWS Community Builder!

With this feature, you can predictably name and create general purpose buckets in your own account regional namespace by appending your account’s unique suffix in your requested bucket name. For example, I can create the bucket mybucket-123456789012-us-east-1-an in my account regional namespace. mybucket is the bucket name prefix that I specified, then I add my account regional suffix to the requested bucket name: -123456789012-us-east-1-an. If another account tries to create buckets using my account’s suffix, their requests will be automatically rejected.

Nice breakdown of S3 storage classes. One thing I’ve noticed is that costs usually don’t come from storage alone but from access patterns and scaling over time. That’s where most teams struggle.
