Jamie: Hey Alex, I could use some more access to our AWS resources. I need to get a better understanding of our cloud infrastructure.
Alex: Hi Jamie! Sure, what specifically do you need access to?
Jamie: I’d like access to the EC2 instances and S3 buckets. I need to review their configurations and monitor usage.
Alex: Got it. I can arrange that. Are there any particular configurations or metrics you're interested in?
Jamie: Yes, primarily I need to check instance types and security groups for EC2, and I’d like to review storage policies for S3.
Alex: Understood. I’ll grant you access to the EC2 management console and the S3 bucket settings. I’ll also share some documentation on our current setup and best practices.
