## STARS — US and international anchors

**Hyperscaler + open federation** alongside §1 Gaia-X / OpenStack.

### How to read STARS (context)

**STARS** here are **API and protocol surfaces** for cloud, code hosting, and federated social web. They **orient implementation**; **vendor SLAs and regions** are out of scope for this table.

| ID | What this STAR denotes | Typical use in this BOOK | Not / caveats |
|----|-------------------------|--------------------------|---------------|
| CONST-S1 | AWS Documentation | **Hyperscaler** API and service reference | Massive surface; deep-link the service you mean. |
| CONST-S2 | GitHub REST API | **Automation** against repos/issues/actions | Rate limits and auth models change; read current API docs. |
| CONST-S3 | W3C ActivityPub | **Federated** social-web protocol | Spec ≠ full product security model; read implementer guides. |

| ID | Region | Kind | Note | Identifier |
|----|--------|------|------|------------|
| CONST-S1 | US | Cloud APIs / docs | AWS Documentation | [docs.aws.amazon.com](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/) |
| CONST-S2 | US | Code + automation API | GitHub REST API docs | [docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/) |
| CONST-S3 | Multilateral | Federated social web | W3C ActivityPub | [w3.org TR ActivityPub](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/) |
