Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced at least two outages in the past few months. These outages were reportedly linked internally to the use of its own AI coding tools. This led the company to a closer examination of how these assistants are being deployed across its operations. A report claims that the biggest cloud service provider has shared an internal postmortem about the “outage” of an AWS system that will allow customers to review and analyse the costs of its services. After the investigation, Amazon has concluded that it was a “coincidence that AI tools were involved” and noted that “the same issue could occur with any developer tool or manual action.”
