Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Redact or obfuscate any confidential or identifying information (IPs, hostnames, account numbers, keys) before posting.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: news, discussion, showcase
Headline: short, service-first (e.g., “Lambda MicroVMs — run isolated sandboxes”). Use first-person for project/showcase posts (“I built…”); neutral/third-person for news. Post body: concise technical writeup (200–800 words) with links, data, logs, configs. Tone: factual, pragmatic, troubleshooting-oriented. What gets upvoted: benchmarks, clear problem descriptions, reproducible examples, useful links. Avoid salesy marketing, vague pitches, or leaked credentials.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/aws's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
