Experts say the incident revealed what can happen when a such a broad spectrum of companies rely on singular cloud provider.

A major outage last week disrupted Amazon's cloud division for 15 hours, affecting hundreds of companies and raising questions about AWS' resilience.

ISG highlighted DXC's deep AWS technical expertise, demonstrated by the company's recognition as AWS Innovation Partner of the Year for 2024 in the APAC region, and more than 600 successful customer launches on the AWS platform driven by over 10,000 AWS-certified professionals.

To meet this demand, OpenAI and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have entered a multi-year partnership which could reshape how AI tools are built and deployed. The collaboration, valued at $38 billion, gives OpenAI access to AWS’s vast infrastructure to run and scale its most advanced artificial intelligence workloads.

Amazon Web Services plays a central role in powering Zoox’s futuristic robotaxis. The Amazon subsidiary relies on the cloud provider’s infrastructure to train, test and refine the machine learning models that handle navigation and safety.

In making sense of all the hullabaloo, cybersecurity expert David Kennedy just dropped a curt and pertinent take on the AWS outage.

Amazon.com announced that its cloud service, AWS, resumed normal operations after a significant internet outage disrupted numerous websites globally, affecting major platforms like Snapchat and Reddit.

The company listed all of the systems that went haywire, but never really identified what happened differently that day to cause problems. Worse yet, putting out technology brushfires this way leaves the forest in danger of burning again.

The agency is taking note of the growing number of cloud services providers cleared at the FedRAMP High level.
