The Last Week in AWS charity t-shirt fundraiser is well underway, featuring @awscloud S3 as its focus this year.

All proceeds as per usual benefit @826National; please RT for visibility, friendos.

Get yours today at snark.cloud/shirt.

And of course, to reward you for your kind support of this glorious nonsense, I present a list of feature requests for @awscloud's S3. Just because it's amazing doesn't mean it can't be made better than it is...

I'd really like to edit an S3 object in the console without downloading the object locally, editing it, then re-uploading it. You can edit small enough Lambda functions in the console; I'm no rocket surgeon but changing a string in S3 seems easier? #awswishlist

I'd like a write-only S3 bucket option. It takes all the data I want and just heaves it into the great beyond for me.

"Isn't that /dev/null as a service?"

I don't pay @awscloud per-request charges to use /dev/null, jackhole!

This one is technically for CloudFront; I want to use S3 less. Specifically, redirecting one URL to another shouldn't require an S3 bucket with a website endpoint on it, or (god forbid) dynamic code execution on every request. #awswishlist

I'd like to set a default storage tier as a bucket property (and then make it Intelligent Tiering because it's awesome and usually the right answer). Having to transition objects post-write is just annoying, and as customers we suck at those lifecycle policies. #awswishlist

Reduced Redundancy tier as the temporary storage tier when you bring something back from Glacier is both crappy and expensive. Can we get that to either be IA, or Standard, or something else that's good? #awswishlist

I would like a "global S3 bucket". Don't make me set up massive replication configurations myself; do your S3 magic to make the data magically appear everywhere, ideally without charging me $4 a GB/month to do it.

The Snowball Edge can do it, why can't the Snowcone: present as an S3 bucket locally so I can stuff data onto it.

Bonus points: let me pay extra to "upgrade" the Snowcone chassis to resemble an actual bucket. #awswishlist

Storage Lens is great and all, but there's gotta be an easier way in the console to surface "this bucket is 99% of your account's usage, disregard the other 80" at a glance. #awswishlist

A default 30-day lifecycle policy to delete all unused multi-part objects would save a lot of expensive pain for folks. Maybe even have it email when it's about to do it for the first time so people know about this sneaky failure mode? #awswishlist
