b/aws.
EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch.
AWS URLs encode region, account, service, and sub-resource — and look like nightmare bookmarks. BookSlash flattens the most-used AWS views to memorable shortcuts your whole engineering team types.

Suggested slug patterns
Steal these. They work for most teams.
Battle-tested shortcut conventions for AWS, with notes on why each one survives the URL changes that break personal bookmarks.
- b/aws
AWS Console home.
Universal entry point. Skips the region-encoded URL.
https://{account-alias}.signin.aws.amazon.com/console - b/ec2
EC2 Instances list.
DevOps and platform engineers reach it daily.
https://{region}.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home - b/s3
S3 buckets list.
Universal data-storage entry point.
https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets - b/iam
IAM users and roles.
Security and IT reach it during access reviews.
https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/iamv2/home#/users - b/cloudwatch
CloudWatch dashboards.
On-call engineers reach it during alert investigation.
https://{region}.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/home - b/lambda
Lambda functions list.
Serverless engineers reach it for every function debug.
https://{region}.console.aws.amazon.com/lambda/home - b/billing
AWS billing dashboard.
Finance and engineering managers reach it monthly.
https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home
Common workflows
Three patterns that pay back in week one.
01
On-call incident debugging
On-call engineers reach b/cloudwatch for metrics and b/ec2 for instance health. Pairs with b/lambda for serverless functions and b/s3 for storage debugging.
02
Quarterly IAM access review
Security and IT reach b/iam quarterly to audit users, roles, and policies. The slug carries the team to the same view; audit logs prove who accessed what.
03
Monthly cost review
Finance reaches b/billing at month-end for cost analysis. The dashboard URL changes as AWS ships billing UI updates; the slug stays.
With and without
Same AWS. Different team experience.
Without shortcuts
Each engineer has private AWS bookmarks per region and per account. Cross-team handoffs include 100-character console URLs. New engineers spend a week learning which sidebars matter.
With BookSlash
b/aws, b/ec2, b/s3, b/iam, b/cloudwatch, b/lambda, b/billing. Seven slugs cover the AWS surface for engineering, security, and finance together.
Frequently asked
BookSlash + AWS
Namespace per account: b/aws-prod, b/aws-staging, b/aws-dev. The b/ pattern stays consistent; the segment after disambiguates accounts.
Slugs are URL → URL. Point the slug at your SSO start URL: b/aws → https://{org}.awsapps.com/start. The destination authenticates via SSO normally.
No — slugs route URLs only. API automation uses the AWS CLI or SDK directly. BookSlash gets engineers to the right console view in one keystroke.
Most teams use slug per region for global services: b/ec2-us-east, b/ec2-eu-west. Or use a default + override: b/ec2 (default region), b/ec2-eu (override).
