［速報］AWS、障害が発生すると人間より先にAIが調査分析、対処法まで報告「AWS DevOps Agent」プレビュー公開 － Publickey https://www.publickey1.jp/blog/25/awsaiaws_devops_agent.html
> AWS DevOps Agentは人間が起動するのではなく、オンにしておくことで継続的にアラートを監視し、何らかのインシデントの発生を検知すると重要性に応じたトリアージを自動的に行い、コードリポジトリやメトリクスなどを参照して推定される根本原因を特定。的を絞った緩和策や対処法などを推奨してくれます。
ありゃ、AWSさんがさっさと作っちゃった。じゃあありがたく使わせてもらいましょ。

Every time there is an outage like #cloudflare or #aws I see people talking about the (in)dependence of the fediverse. But did someone actually look into on what hosters etc. the fediverse relies on?
If not let's coordinate that below this toot. Boost to get more people on board.
Reminder: The #internet was built to route around damage on a communication route. By centralizing on #cloudflare , #aws, #azure, and #googlecloud, we've removed the redundancy model that was core to the initial internet principles.

Amazon sold cloud computing services and A.I. tools to Israeli weapons manufacturers and Israel's Ministry of "Defense" at the height of Israel's bombardment, because of course it did.
Amazon sold it's services to the Israeli Ministry of "Defense" and the weapons manufacturers at a discounted rate, and lobbied Israel to allow it to handle classified material from the country's spy agencies
@https://theintercept.com/2025/10/24/amazon-weapons-gaza-israel-rafael-iai
The evidence of Unit 8200's abuse of Azure and the mounting evidence of Israel's genocide must have deeply concerned Microsoft execs, not because brown people are being murdered in a foreign country, but because of the potential for future lawsuits and reputation damage.
Now they are hoping they can feign ignorance and wash they're hands by ending the contract, tho Microsoft still lets the I.D.F. use it's other services
"Amazon sold cloud-computing services to two Israeli weapons manufacturers whose munitions helped devastate Gaza, according to internal company materials obtained by The Intercept.
Amazon Web Services has furnished the Israeli government — including its military and intelligence agencies — with a suite of state-of-the-art data processing and storage services since 2021 as part of its controversial Project Nimbus deal. Last year, The Intercept revealed a provision in that contract requiring Amazon and Google, the other Nimbus vendor, to sell cloud services to Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israeli Aerospace Industries, two leading Israeli weapons firms.
New internal financial data and emails between Amazon personnel and their Israeli corporate and governmental clients show that Amazon has consistently provided software to both Rafael and IAI in 2024 and 2025 — periods during which Israel’s military was using their products to indiscriminately kill civilians and destroy civil infrastructure. Rafael purchased artificial intelligence technologies made available through Amazon Web Services, including the state-of-the-art large language model Claude, developed by AI startup Anthropic.
The materials reviewed by The Intercept also indicate Amazon sold cloud-computing services to Israel’s nuclear program and offices administering the West Bank, where Israeli military occupation, population displacement, and settlement construction is widely considered illegal under international law."

A funny case study of the 21st century “software engineering” at its best.
As result of #AWS failure, a number of commercial products stopped working that relied on AWS hosted services. Such as the Eight Sleep Pod beds.
Yes, physical beds for sleeping relied on AWS to work. And it was not some kind of extremely sophisticated “AI” processing, but simple schedule “make warmer”, “make colder”, “raise/lower” etc. All that was controlled through AWS.
When AWS stopped working users started complaining that their beds got stuck in weird positions and users were unable to control them. So yes, a bed say in Netherlands stopped working because it could not retrieve instructions from US server which were sent there by the person physically present on said bed.
And the bonus: each bed sent 20 GB of telemetry data to AWS each month.

„Leaked internal tools show how Amazon’s cloud is now self-healing, self-scaling, and self-negotiating — no humans required.“
I would like to see some primary sources confirm this, or at least corroborate.
Way too many bytes in one basket makes for one very big single point of failure. This is the cost of an absurdly hyper-centralised fast-food-like data center culture.
Signal++ down, sucks, but it's seeing fundamentals like banks & public sector services break that stings most.
But hey, maybe this is what it tales to push more govs to actual #datasovereignty, investing in locally owned data centers or building out their team & hosting on-prem

There is no single central #Signal server. Signal uses #AWS cloud, plus Google Cloud, Microsoft Cloud and Cloudflare, all under US legislation. If any of these clouds goes down or becomes otherwise problematic, chatting degrades or fails.
With #deltachat you can choose #chatmail relays ( https://chatmail.at/relays ) which distributes the risk across a wider network. We are currently working on the multi-transport feature to finally remove any central point of chat failure https://chaos.social/@delta/115362144863345662
