GrumpierByTheDay (@GrumpierBTDay) reported@BlackScholesMan I found the machinist commentary very interesting. Especially with calling out the difficulty hiring in ****-legal states. I sense this factor its-self could push federal interest in lifting restrictions. I know Amazon AWS was having the same issues re: high side DCs in Colorado.

The If Else (@TheIfElse) reportedPM Modi says Indians shouldn’t buy gold because dollars go out of India. Fair point but what about billions flowing out through Apple iPhones, Tesla imports, Google & Meta ads, Amazon AWS, Microsoft software, Netflix subscriptions, NVIDIA chips, Uber commissions, Samsung electronics & crude oil imports? Middle-class gold buyers aren’t the only reason for forex pressure. India’s dependency on foreign tech, cloud, chips, ads & energy is the bigger structural issue. Instead of blaming citizens, where is the large-scale policy push for Indian alternatives in tech, semiconductors, cloud, EV batteries & digital platforms?

Dr. Mihir Sharma (@mihircurovana) reported@AWSSupport Hi @AWSSupport I don’t see any such option in the widget or anywhere in the console, is this an AISL or India specific issue maybe? I see no options to upgrade

Henrique Lima (@HenriqueLi88059) reported@AWSSupport @AWSSupport with all due respect, we are blocked with no plausible justification. AWS suspended our account without warning, without explanation, and our Medical Imaging platform has been down for 36+ hours due to AWS's actions. We submitted every document requested. We opened

Vijay Swami (@vjswami) reportedIn an Agentic AI sales cycle, you need to intimately understand current customer workflows before you can even think about agents. This concept of deeply understanding the problem before "solution'ing" was something drilled into our heads at @awscloud in the early days. Prior to the current tools, this involved lots of back/forth with a customer, then having to put together a working document in the shape of the workflow for that particular customer and/or department. Time consuming and error prone. Today? Another day, another @AnthropicAI @claudeai Claude Code skill developed to speed this along: /workflowdiscovery It can take in multiple types of unstructured data (emails, docs, images, etc) and then turn them into a nice living document that maps the workflows, stakeholders, inputs/outputs, artifacts and more... in minutes. This is then automatically hosted on an internal website and the sales team gets a link they can use to go back to the customer and live edit the doc Q&A, validate assumptions, etc to lock this down. And then this can feed right into the solutions/engineering team with a simple JSON export into their workflows for agent mapping. Below is the skill information on the left, and sample output on the right. These are the types of tools and workflows which are mandatory for sales teams in 2026+.

Ibraheem Tuffaha 🥛 (@IbraheemTuffaha) reportedwhen you try to buy Savings Plans yourself 🫠 @awscloud gives you Savings Plans and Reserved Instances Different types, different terms, different quantities They even give you recommendations Those recommendations go stale in days Usage shifts, workloads change, and suddenly you're either underutilized or short Under-buy and you miss the savings Over-buy and you're locked into years of commitment you don't need We've watched companies spend months on this and still get it wrong @MilkStrawAI does it automatically Scans the AWS account, figures out exactly how much commitment is needed, and buys it gradually over a week If usage shifts up or down, the system adjusts on its own Zero intervention from the client They just see the bill drop at the end of the month

The Night King (@nightkingog) reportedI am witnessing @awscloud is doubling down

Marci (@Nma_ci) reported@AWSSupport We are currently having an issue on our Production on AWS because a required quota is not being approved. This same quota was approved in our Test Environment on AWS. Support Ticket keeps getting closed. caseID: 177753893100221

Gajanan (@Gajanan_Shetkar) reported@AWSSupport Hope AWS continues supporting Indian startups during difficult situations like this. After 5 years of building on AWS, we’re still waiting for resolution while our production platform remains down. Requesting urgent assistance.

NUEVE (@Nader7x) reported@AWSSupport trying to sign in to my account and do the root verification using the mail and then the sms or call I don't receive any
-
Fôrtûne (@Fortune71227524) reported@AWSSupport It is not a service quota issue. I currently have 8 for the "all G and VT on-demand instances". That should launch 2 G5s. I hardly launch one without the 'insufficient capacity in this region'. Launching two successfully is a miracle. Y'all need to add more G5s in London.

Wat (@WatTuiteg) reported@awscloud So dont buy Hyundai because you wont own the car, will have AI and and you wont be able to fix or tinker with it, only authorized dealers that will charge you thousands to update a firmware. NAH

Alper FERUDUN (@AlperTheKing) reported@awscloud The 2006 Black Friday peak-minute problem did not disappear. In 2026 agentic AI, the units are tool-call queues, retries, memory, eval gates, and sandbox slots. Same capacity planning, just less visible until latency explodes.

Carbon Tax Neil (@NeilPitman10) reported@AWSSupport Great! another bot. OK, but no one is looking at the github issues log.

Steve (@somatg3) reported@danorlovsky7 @awscloud @NextGenStats Easy. Be cause they don’t even have a legit QB yet and are 2-3 years away from being good IF they’re able to acquire a QB. They need EVERYTHING. Spending #3 for a RB on a bad team isn’t a winning draft strategy. Trade down or take the best edge rusher remaining.

Maynor Henríquez (@maynor_8795) reported@AWSSupport @AWSSupport Still NO resolution on Case 177754503800193. I’ve lost thousands of dollars in halted operations, delayed international shipping, and offline medical platforms. The lack of urgency from your Trust & Safety team is absolutely shameful. Fix this immediately.

Eduardo Rodrigues (@EduardoRod1972) reported@Suporte_Vanlink @AWSSupport @AWSSupport we have to pay a lot of people today, and we can’t use our systems, I believe the restatement needs to be immediately after de payment, this problem impacts in many areas of our company, including external users, many parents can’t see the school transportation in app
