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. The company also noted that the December 2025 incident was an “extremely limited event” that affected only a single service in certain parts of mainland China. Amazon also stated that the second incident did not impact a “customer-facing AWS service.”Amazon also claimed that it was seeing continued customer adoption of Kiro and that it aims to benefit both customers and employees from efficiency improvements. With outages recently witnessed, do you think that full automation should be discouraged ?
