Description

Objectives:
Identify simple, safe issues in DevOps/AWS that help new volunteers learn by doing (e.g., writing a small Lambda, reviewing a CloudWatch dashboard, etc).

Label them as good-first-issue in GitHub and add helpful context so they’re approachable.

Goal:
At least a total of 3-5 curated “first issues” available at any given time for different interest groups based on the part of AWS they would want to contribute to.

These issues should also be reviewed by one senior/more experienced member of our team and also one new volunteer to see whether these are easy to understand.
