Selections help you navigate your cloud journey by streamlining the process of researching and curating knowledge. You can locate answers to your questions and find relevant information to deepen your knowledge. For example, Selections can aggregate content based on a topic such as “Configure CORS in Amazon S3”, a technical issue such as “Troubleshoot the Amazon S3 403 Access Denied error”, or a use case such as “Migrating Windows workloads to AWS.” Community members with Star reputation status (5,000 points) unlock the ability to create a community Selection.

2. Knowledge Center: The official AWS Knowledge Center contains over 3,000 articles and videos that cover the most frequent questions about technical and AWS account issues that we receive from AWS customers. These articles help you reduce the time that you spend troubleshooting cloud issues. Knowledge Center articles are available in 10 languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese.

3. Community articles: You can reuse and share best practices with your organizational builder community using community articles written by AWS experts. Community members with Rising Star reputation status (1,000 points) unlock the ability to create a community article.

4. Q&A: Find answers to your questions from a peer, AWS, or expert advice. Community members who reach 1,000 points unlock the Rising Star status and can help verify answers from other community members. A verified answer helps users locate solutions that worked well for other users.
