I used to work for an AWS support partner, essentially being tier 3 support. We were also involved in onboarding large customers to AWS and working with their teams to migrate their systems.

We always told them that AWS account IDs are not considered sensitive information by AWS, neither are S3 bucket names. Metadata (tags etc) is generally visible to AWS in a variety of ways if you ask for help, but are not public.

This helped them use the services to the sensitive information was actually hidden and apply the correct security policies.
