Скачать или смотреть AWS Builder Challenge – Day 2: Private Cloud Storage with Amazon S3

ay 2 of my AWS Builder Challenge #2: Build a Website on the Cloud was all about Amazon S3 — creating a secure, private bucket to store files for my upcoming website.
🔑 What I Learned Today
✅ Created my first S3 bucket with all Block Public Access settings enabled (private by default 🔒)
✅ Uploaded my first file (a photo 📸)
✅ Explored object details & tested permissions
✅ Organized files with folders for scalability
✅ Reviewed S3 costs & how it fits into my AWS Free Tier
💡 Personal Story
When I was preparing for my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CCP) exam, I copied an S3 Object URL and was frustrated when I kept getting “Access Denied”. At the time, it felt like a mistake.
But today, it finally clicked: that “Access Denied” was actually security working as designed. S3 buckets are private by default, keeping your files safe. 🙌
And when you do want to share something safely, AWS gives you tools like pre-signed URLs, which grant temporary access (minutes or hours) without exposing your bucket publicly. That’s powerful security + flexibility. 🔐
🎯 Why This Matters
This isn’t just about storing files — it’s about learning cloud-native habits:
Privacy by default
Least privilege access
Organized storage for web apps
Cost awareness
These are the building blocks for hosting a website on the cloud securely. 🌐
👀 What’s Next?
Tomorrow I’ll take these stored assets and move into building my actual website using AWS services. Stay tuned for Day 3! 🚀
