Satisfy Your Thirst for All Things AWS with AWSstash.com
Introduction
What is your "go to" resource for all things AWS related?
If you are passionate about Amazon Web Services (AWS) like I am, you have an undying desire to stay apprised of AWS announcements, new services, instructional videos, and general AWS knowledge. You have probably created browser bookmarks that you visit on a regular basis, jumping from one knowledge source to another. Or maybe you use Feedly or another RSS reader. When you need to research or educate yourself on a particular AWS topic, Google is likely your best friend. But with the speed of AWS innovation, Google search results often return information that was true at one time, but is no longer relevant, and many sources of content do not provide RSS feeds. There must be a more efficient way to search for AWS related information, right?
What if I told you that a single-site searchable collection of AWS knowledge exists? And even better, what if the original posting date and latest revision date where also available and easily filterable when you run a search query? If this sounds good to you, I'd like to introduce you to awsstash.com.
And yes, I'm aware that Google supports date filtering, but I find it to be an inefficient process.
About the site
Jeff Barr summed it up nicely when he posted about the awsstash in 2021:
"A collection of AWS related videos, podcasts, code repositories, whitepapers, and feature releases, all in a single, easy to search interface." - Jeff Barr, on X (previously known as Twitter)
I'm guessing this site is kind of a well-kept secret, because when I google it I don't see many mentions or references. This is unfortunate! This article is my way to help publicize what I believe is a terrific resource - an easy to access repository of a wide variety of AWS content with the ability to to filter and refine your search. You will be on a more efficient journey to increase your AWS knowledge and skills in no time!

I mentioned Skill Builder in a prior article, and using awsstash.com is a great way to be informed when new content is posted. Also, note that GitHub repos are also searchable for those that like to get their hands dirty with code.
Videos, blogs, talks and podcasts, source code, and training content is all available with a single search. Performing an unfiltered search returns 77, 710 results. I'd say that is a veritable smorgasbord of delectable content, wouldn't you?
There are a number of search filters available:
These filters allow you to truly narrow down your search to only content you deem valuable. In addition to searchable keywords, the search box supports the following search options:

Site Creator
This site is not an official AWS site, and there is no direct reference to who maintains the site. However, there are links to the social media profiles of Nick Ragusa , so I'm guessing we have Nick to thank for this great treasure trove of AWS content!
Wrapping Up
I have found this site to be a great asset when I am working to expand my knowledge and mastery of all things AWS, and I encourage you to check it out! I believe you will be happy you did.
