Aws S3 Management

This gives you the full S3 management toolkit with CLI commands and Terraform examples for setting up buckets with proper security defaults. You get versioning, encryption, lifecycle policies, and cross-region replication covered in the reference guides. The best practices section is actually useful, emphasizing things like blocking public access by default and using IAM roles over access keys. Good for anyone who needs to move beyond the AWS console and script their S3 infrastructure properly. The presigned URLs guide is a nice touch for temporary access patterns.
