-
Ricci Research (@ricci_nov) reported@nvidia @awscloud The buried detail is "Vera CPU server" — NVIDIA hand-delivering an ARM CPU to the company that built Graviton to escape CPU vendors. The GPU is the ticket; the CPU is the trojan horse into the one socket AWS thought it had reclaimed.

Matthew Joughin | 🏗️ Cross Platform Dev Tools (@mrwcjoughin) reported@ivanburazin Why are you still using windows server ? It’s less than 10 minutes to fire up a @awscloud ECS cluster running free Linux

Babak (@bbkhbb) reported@ajassy @AWSSupport what happened to customer obsession? I would like to invite you to review the interactions on AWS support case #178605390000779. There's no better way to put this, it's a sad joke. Reps don't appear to be incentivized to solve the problem nor to do the reading

Milan Jovanović (@mjovanovictech) reported@mrwcjoughin @awscloud @Azure I doubt this is a compute issue, looks like a bottleneck from past choices coming to bite you

Chintan Shah (@chintan86) reported@AWSSupport @awscloud Dues cleared, reinstatement requested — still waiting with no movement. My production workloads are down and every hour is costing us. Can someone please prioritise this? Case ID ready to share over DM.

Arian van Putten (@ProgrammerDude) reported@QuinnyPig @awscloud Are they gonna fix people needing to know what region their orgs IAM identity center is deployed in order to set up cli login? (How the heck would an employee know this??)

Chris (@Mcatbeast) reported@AWSSupport Apologies for the earlier frustration. Turns out it was an issue from our end! My user was accidentally deleted.

jd42 (@jdonovan42) reported@DarioCpx Pls recalculate considering the massive clouds the AI revs sit on. Each $1 in AI attaches $1.5-2.5X attached cloud biz and your down to 30-45% of revs. Then as open wgt models gain apply the 100% revenue retention vs. 60% on frontier and look at EBITDA % from frontier is 10-15% max. But nice try ;) No doubt Anthropic and OpenAI both stimulate demand for Amazon AWS. It creates 2x the cloud biz than it does the direct AI biz. So why not count the full picture of things vs just the #'s that fit one narrative.

Swaroop Hegde (@SwaroopH) reportedTIL: @awscloud has been racking up ipv4 charges on an old test instance of mine even though it uses dynamic IP. Just checked that their launch wizard deployed new instances with the same issue without warning 🤷

Joy | 🔥 (@JoyKingdomx) reportedAs we all know, cloud outages are not a new topic here. But what is changed is how many products now depend on the same infrastructure. A few years ago, an AWS outage mostly affected AWS customers. Where today one infrastructure issue can ripple across AI apps, APIs, developer tools, streaming platforms and payment services. That is the downside of concentration. We have seen @awscloud outages impact millions. We have also seen @OpenAI outages pause production apps because entire inference pipelines depended on a single provider. It is not the outage that matters - it is the dependency behind it. That is the reason why decentralized compute makes sense. Instead of relying on a single cloud or region, @ionet distributes compute across a global network of GPUs in 138+ countries. No infrastructure is immune to failure, the goal is to ensure one failure does not become everyone's failure.

Arick Goomanovsky (@g00manoid) reported@awscloud It's worse than technical debt in one way - sprawl compounds through the connections, not just the count. Ten agents with no shared context or ownership isn't ten problems, it's every pair of them. The fix is a connective layer that makes them a network instead of scattered debt.

Jacque Cousteau (@JacqueBenson15) reported@amazon @awscloud @nvidia Having trouble My account was flagged for suspicious activity. 3 fraud charges on credit card. Rep told me charges would be reversed. He told me to cancel credit card & Amazon account. Now I'm stuck with hundreds of dollars in fraud charges. I'm a senior.

WPBeginner (@wpbeginner) reportedYou have spent months building your WordPress site. What happens the day it suddenly goes offline? 😱 It happens all the time. We have heard several scary stories. A plugin conflict, a bad update, or a security breach can wipe out your complete website without any warning. The scary part is that most site owners assume their host has them fully covered, right up until they actually need to restore. We have tested countless backup tools on our own projects, so we put together the exact methods we trust to keep a site safe. Here is what you will learn: ✅ Pick the Right Method: Compare backup plugins, host backups, and manual cPanel or FTP so you know which fits your skill level. ✅ Back Up the Full Site: Save your database, themes, plugins, and uploads together so you can restore everything, not just your posts. ✅ Automate It With @DuplicatorWP: Schedule daily or weekly backups and send them straight to the cloud so you never have to remember. ✅ Store Copies Off Your Server: Keep backups in Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3 so one server crash never takes your site and its backup at once. ✅ Restore in Minutes: Use a disaster recovery link to bring your site back even when it is completely broken. Ready to protect all that hard work before disaster strikes? Read our complete step-by-step guide from the link in the comments 👇 (Link is in the thread below)

Payal (@payal_codes) reportedDay 1 : "How to Scale an App to 10 Million Users on AWS" If I have to design a system for 10 million users, I won't build everything on Day 1 because it will add unnecessary complexity and cost. I'll start simple with one application server and one database. As traffic grows, if the server starts reaching its CPU, memory, or storage limits, I'll first scale vertically by moving to a bigger instance. Once that is not enough, I'll separate the backend and database so both can scale independently. To avoid a single point of failure, I'll deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones and put a Load Balancer in front so if one server or AZ goes down, traffic is automatically routed to healthy servers. As the number of users keeps increasing, I'll make my application stateless by storing sessions in Redis. This allows me to add multiple application servers behind the Load Balancer and scale horizontally. If my database starts getting overloaded with reads, I'll use Redis to cache frequently accessed data and add read replicas to distribute read traffic. For static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript, I'll store them in Amazon S3 and serve them through CloudFront so requests don't keep hitting my application servers. If traffic suddenly spikes during sales or events, I'll enable Auto Scaling with CloudWatch metrics so AWS automatically adds or removes servers based on demand. As the application becomes larger, I'll split the monolith into microservices. This allows each service, like authentication, payments, or notifications, to scale independently instead of scaling the entire application. If the database becomes the bottleneck, especially for write operations, I'll use sharding or federation depending on the data and business requirements. Finally, when users are spread across the world, I'll deploy the application in multiple AWS Regions to reduce latency and improve availability. My approach is always the same: find the bottleneck, solve that bottleneck, and only introduce more complexity when the current architecture can no longer handle the traffic.

Abdulkadir | Cybersecurity (@cyber_razz) reportedClarityCheck markets itself as a tool to detect catfishing. To verify identities. To keep you safe from liars online. Here's how it works. You upload someone's photo. ClarityCheck runs it through their reverse image search. Finds their dating profile. Their social media. Wherever that face appears. Seems solid. Except ClarityCheck just leaked 9 million photos sitting in an unsecured Amazon S3 bucket. 450 gigabytes of faces. Stored in folders labeled "faces" and "profiles." The photos came from people uploading images of strangers. Dating app screenshots. Private social accounts. Scanned prints. Photos of children. Most of these people never uploaded anything to ClarityCheck. They just got identified by someone else trying to figure out who they were. Then their face got indexed. Stored. And left wide open. For several months. The URL to access it was embedded in ClarityCheck's own website source code. The company's response: this was "temporary storage" and an "ordinary member of the public" would not have found it. An ordinary member of the public with the URL from their own website. Which is not temporary storage. That's just a server. And it wasn't invisible. You'd need 30 seconds and a basic understanding of how websites work. Now ClarityCheck says the data is "secured." A service built to prevent identity fraud just exposed millions of identities. The tool designed to catch people lying about who they are just showed everyone's actual face to anyone listening. The irony isn't subtle. It's a design flaw pretending to be an accident.

Pixi Dust (@Bethco2257) reported@FmrRepMTG @amazon @awscloud walk into any Amazon office building at Seattle HQ and South Lake Union Amazon Seattle offices and instantly you can see with your own eyes… nearly 80% of staff are HB1 visa holders!!!! So yes, we have a big problem.

Kenton Parton (@kenton_parton) reportedAnyone here work on AgentCore Gateway Targets at @awscloud? Been testing them for our MCP/agent platform. I like that it removes the credential leakage issue during development of new MCP's/Agents. But they’re slow AF!🐢 I’m seeing ~430ms added per request above baseline, in-region, with warm caches. Is that expected?
-
🦋Kieran🦋 💻 (@sir_divs_alot) reported@AWSSupport Thanks for your response and I've been keeping track for any updates very closely but the problem is these cases are either unassigned and if they are, no one is following up. I'm at the point of just giving up entirely cuz it's pointless waiting endlessly.

Nachman Mostofsky ✡︎🇺🇸 (@Mostofsky) reported@awscloud I signed up w/ new account to get @AWS_Gov. Got usual error. Created ticket. At about 3pm. Just got my phone call. At 11:30. AT NIGHT! To then get a message while on hold that there was an error, that a tech was assigned to case & would call me back. C'mon!
