AWS S3 bucket requirements

IP geolocation
The VIP edge cache respects the vary: X-Country-Code response header, making it possible to deliver variations of cached content based on an end user’s global location. Logic at the edge determines which specific cached version will be delivered in response to a user’s request based on the country code value in the incoming X-Country-Code request header.
Settings
The Settings panel for the VIP Dashboard provides a user with information about their VIP Dashboard user account, multi-factor authentication (MFA) method(s), and access to Personal Access Tokens that are required for installing VIP-CLI.
Autoloaded options
The Options API is a built-in WordPress method for storing simple key-value data related to theme settings, widget settings, plugin settings, global site settings, and more. Data that is stored using the Options API can be found in the wp_options database table.
Organization
On VIP, an organization is an entity that consists of a business in contract with VIP, the applications owned by that business that are hosted on the VIP Platform, and the people selected by that business to have access to view and manage their applications.
Caching of query parameters
When receiving a request for a URL, the page cache considers the entirety of the URL, including GET parameters. As a result, the page cache will identify example.com/?a=1&b=1 as different from example.com?b=1&a=1 and cache each variant separately. This caching behavior provides a more scalable method for serving variations of a page to specific user groups.
My Organizations
Users have access to the VIP Dashboard after they have been invited to an organization with an assigned Org role. Invitations are created based on a user’s email address, and a user’s email address can be invited to the VIP Dashboard by more than one organization. Once a user has logged in to the VIP Dashboard with multi-factor authentication for that email address, they can switch their VIP Dashboard to any of the organizations to which they belong from the “My Organizations” view.
VIP Dashboard Plugins panel
The Plugins panel in the VIP Dashboard displays a list of plugins that are located in the /plugins directory of a WordPress environment’s wpcomvip GitHub repository branch.
Query Monitor
Query Monitor is a WordPress plugin that provides a developer tools panel for debugging database queries, PHP errors, warnings and notices, hooks and actions, block editor blocks, enqueued scripts and stylesheets, HTTP API calls, and more. Query Monitor is loaded via VIP MU plugins on all VIP Platform WordPress environments. Users might need access to the plugin’s debug panels enabled through code or with VIP-CLI.
