Santosh Joshi (@smjoshi17) reported@AWSCloudIndia @awscloud I’ve been an AWS customer for over 10 years and have spent thousands of dollars on your services. This is extremely disappointing. Right now, my production server is down. I’ve lost access to my website and I’m unable to log in to WHM/cPanel. 1/3

HRH Prince Sven Olaf of CyberBunker - CB3ROB (@cb3_rob46858) reported@awscloud bit of an issue there, the average security camera cannot be ****** to just poop out uncompressed rgb data if you beat it with a stick and always insists on some mpeg nonsense. despite having 1000base :P so also need to uncompress that crap -first- lol.

ToadcalledRory (@JJ23021049) reported@awscloud @OpenAI @amazon please make your invites for Pokemon products for prime members only. You are getting so botted by people selling 100s of thousands of email addresses. This would fix the problem immediately! Do it for the collectors!

Trevor Skinner (@PrometheusAIsec) reportedI’m getting real tired of watching this industry pretend dependency is innovation. The entire tech world got sold on the idea that hardware was the problem and cloud was the solution. And to be fair, Amazon AWS played it perfectly. From a business standpoint, it was brilliant. Make infrastructure easy. Make it scalable. Make it fast. Make it cheaper to start. Then make it harder and harder to leave. That’s the part nobody wants to talk about. At first, cloud feels like freedom. No racks. No servers. No switches. No up-front hardware cost. No late nights swapping drives, troubleshooting power, rebuilding arrays, or fighting broken infrastructure. But over time, that freedom can turn into a leash. I’ve seen enough real-world systems to know the difference between convenience and control. Access control, networking, servers, security hardware, firewalls, cameras, panels, credentials, cloud dashboards, hosted platforms, vendor portals — it all looks great until the business depends on something it does not actually own. That is where the trap starts. One vendor controls the platform. One vendor controls the pricing. One vendor controls the updates. One vendor controls the outage window. One vendor controls the rules. One vendor controls the ecosystem. Then businesses slowly build everything around it. Compute, storage, databases, backups, monitoring, identity, deployment, physical security, access control, video, alerts, compliance, logging, and billing. By the time they realize how deep they are, leaving is no longer a simple decision. It becomes a migration project. A budget problem. A staffing problem. A security concern. A downtime risk. A business risk. That is not just convenience. That is a dependency loop. And what frustrates me the most is that the same industry that used to understand real infrastructure now acts like ownership is outdated. Owning hardware is not outdated. Understanding networks is not outdated. Knowing servers is not outdated. Knowing how systems work underneath the dashboard is not outdated. Building hybrid infrastructure is not outdated. It is control. Cloud has its place. Hosted systems have their place. Managed platforms have their place. I am not against any of that. I am against companies blindly giving up ownership, knowledge, and leverage, then calling it progress. Because when your entire business depends on someone else’s platform, someone else’s pricing, someone else’s rules, someone else’s uptime, and someone else’s permission, you do not own your technology. You rent permission to operate. Prometheus V2 is built different by RocketCore.

The Mad Maragan 🇦🇺 🎮 🍫 🐝 (@The_Mad_Maragan) reported@AWSSupport I have had a case open for 3 days with no action (except some useless AI response) regarding a problem updating my payment method (credit card expired). Case shows as "Unassigned". Can you DM me and help get some action on this urgently? Need to update for billing.

MISTER introvert ✊ (@sardarshankar4) reportedI’m trying to sign up for an @awscloud Partner account through my employer as a blind user. The signup flow includes an audio CAPTCHA option, but the audio never plays. I tested multiple CAPTCHAs and multiple systems with the same result. What makes this especially frustrating is that AWS support itself requires an AWS account login — which inaccessible onboarding prevents me from creating in the first place. Accessibility cannot stop at the presence of a feature. The accessible alternative must actually function. @AWSCloud (@AWSSupport please investigate this.

Maroun Mourani (@MarounMourani) reported@AWSSupport account 608789101967 has 2 unassigned cases - one is 29 days old (cannot terminate EC2 instance - mec1-az2). The AZ outage prevent me from terminating an impaired instance and AWS keeps charging me. Can someone please look at this ?

Murari mishra (@MurariYuvi) reported@AWSSupport Our organization with account id - 625119556213 is not able to login to the root account, also getting emails reg abuses in the account. Have been trying to get help but can't raise any support even. The Account manager has no clue what's going on. Can you help ASAP?

Ross 🛩️ (@airline_king) reportedLikely this **** is staged… But I had @amazon send me a crusty Apple Magic Keyboard that they demanded to get back (wasn’t even the one I ordered with Touch ID) , and made me waste 6+ hours on the phone being angry with customer service (which I am not proud of). The scumbag who took an exacto knife to the seal, replaced it, and sealed it up for return likely got away with it. Days later, they had the audacity to threaten me via email after over the whole experience. That was the day I decided to start winding down Amazon purchases and tel myself to never use @awscloud for anything if that’s how they want to act. Just amazing how they deal with this. Cc @AmazonHelp my memory is deep after that experience.

Aikido Security (@AikidoSecurity) reported@kirodotdev is rewriting how software gets built. We're making sure it's secure. Aikido is the first security partner globally that @awscloud going to market with for Kiro. 🚀 AI agents now generate most of your code. Catching security issues in review doesn't scale. So we put Aikido where the agents are. Every change gets scanned automatically.

chen (@chen10075495) reported@awscloud Amazon AI Pricing Is Killing the Buy Box Losing Buy Box because AI compares my product to cheaper, non-equivalent listings — even external ones. To compete = sell at a loss. This punishes real brands. Fix this. #AmazonSeller

Fabrizio Toknup (@Fabrizio_Toknup) reported@chainlink @amazon @awscloud Having data on AWS is a step forward, but distribution doesn't solve the core issue of how trust is audited when nodes fail. What's your biggest concern with oracle reliability?

Uttam Tarsariya (@UttamTarasariya) reported@AWSSupport @awscloud Spoke with a rep who escalated to internal team. He committed to update in 4 hrs, said maybe slightly longer. It's been 7 hrs, no response. My production service is still down. How seriously does your team treat live outages affecting real users?

E’s Journal (@EJL888999) reportedThe Billionaire Who Sold Time How Jeff Bezos Turned Minutes Saved Into Trillions of Dollars in Consumer Value Jeff Bezos didn’t become one of the world’s richest people by taking value from society—he became rich by saving people time. Amazon reduced shopping trips, search effort, uncertainty, and delivery delays for hundreds of millions of customers. Economist William Nordhaus argued innovators capture only a small share of the value they create. Using the logic, Bezos’s $275 billion fortune may represent over $13 trillion in social value. If Amazon saves users just four minutes a day through convenience and efficiency, society gains far more than Bezos keeps. In capitalism, the biggest fortunes often come from solving problems at massive scale. #Reflection #Business @amazon @awscloud
