Common Mistakes in S3 😎🔥

Alright noob, you’ve survived buckets 🪣, objects 📂, fridges 🧊, security 🔐, and money talks 💸.
Now it’s time for Kahnu’s ultimate S3 wisdom – avoid disasters and level up your cloud game!

Common Noob Mistakes ❌

1. Leaving buckets public 🌍

   • Don’t make your cat memes or secret projects visible to the world
   • AWS even gives you a warning, but we know noobs ignore it 😅

2. Not enabling versioning ⏳

   • Accidentally delete files → RIP forever 😭
   • Versioning = your cloud undo button

3. Ignoring storage classes 🧊

   • Putting everything in Standard → wallet cries 💸
   • Use Intelligent-Tiering or Glacier for old/rarely used files

4. Messy bucket structure 🗂️

   • One bucket with 10,000 random files → chaos
   • Use folders (keys) & naming conventions

5. Forgetting lifecycle rules 🧹

   • Old backups accumulate → higher costs
   • Automate cleanup

Pro Tips from Kahnu 💡

1. Name buckets wisely → short, descriptive, lowercase
2. Enable MFA Delete for critical buckets → double security 🔐
3. Monitor usage & costs → AWS Cost Explorer is your friend
4. Use tags → organize by project, owner, or department
5. Test public access carefully → never assume your file is private
