aws-essentials
From the author
Use when standing up the core AWS surface a small product needs: hardening a fresh account, a private S3 bucket, encrypted RDS Postgres, ECS Fargate vs EC2, CloudFront + OAC, or scoping an IAM policy to least privilege. NOT the CI pipeline that ships the container (that is `deployment`), NOT app-code access-control review (that is `secure-coding`).
