TeeBeeCTO (@TeeBeeCTO) reportedSetting up a new AWS account @awscloud … and get non stop errors on set up. Looks like their vibe coding dystopia worked… were all going to die because SkyNet will have error pages that end up giving us all death by error page. Amazing work… @JeffBezos !!
-
Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor) reportedI spent over $120 in @awscloud so far this month. Most of it has been on GPU instances and Xeon 6. This is the most I've spent since I've had a long-running VM as a web app server a few years ago.

Mario Giampieri (@mario_giampieri) reported@AWSSupport Another update- I received a canned response explaining to me what sign in credentials are and sending me a link to open a new account. Eleven months of this.

Ayush Awasthi (@Ayush_awa) reported@AWSSupport Its the third day today. The only mail I received from aws was all about “We are getting someone to investigate this” Since then I havent received any update. My only issue is that these things are time sensitive and you cant just take days after days with no real status updates

The AI Therapist (@TheAIShrink) reported@MikeLongTerm @amazon @awscloud EC2 on AMD CPUs. The cloud bill goes down, the margins go up. aws is quietly fixing its cost structure while everyone watches the models. smart

Siya (@reze_xqc) reported@AWSSupport @AWSSupport @awscloud Case 178653274100402, 4 days old. Got a copy-paste "noted for awareness" reply, no actual fix. Still locked out of AWS Builder ID, still can't access AWS Academy courses. This is blocking coursework. Fix it.

Piragash Velummylum (@piragash) reportedAt @awscloud we call this undifferentiated heavy lifting. @Cometml Opik does the hard work, so you can focus on the customer problems.

Milan Jovanović (@mjovanovictech) reported@mrwcjoughin @awscloud @Azure I doubt this is a compute issue, looks like a bottleneck from past choices coming to bite you

lak-alak (@baricadelane) reported@IanCarrollShow @BacklotOPS @NickJFreitas They must think we are stupid Tyler Robinson decoys all over the place d captured on camera all doing their part for 1990s pixalated images produced and sold as 4k in 2026 lmao. Why did Amazon aws services shut down 9/10 - 9/25? Who owns discord?

Bob Tong (@bob80924) reported@Cloudflare @awscloud genuinely curious how tax/vat treatment works when your buyer is an anonymous agent wallet with no jurisdiction attached to it, feels like the accounting problem is way behind the payment rail problem right now

mail box (@mailbox28564784) reported@amazonIN @amazon @awscloud I am extremely disappointed with Amazon's customer service. Despite returning the product, I have neither received my ₹1,400 refund nor a replacement. Repeated follow-ups and social media complaints have not resolved my issue.l

WPBeginner (@wpbeginner) reportedYou have spent months building your WordPress site. What happens the day it suddenly goes offline? 😱 It happens all the time. We have heard several scary stories. A plugin conflict, a bad update, or a security breach can wipe out your complete website without any warning. The scary part is that most site owners assume their host has them fully covered, right up until they actually need to restore. We have tested countless backup tools on our own projects, so we put together the exact methods we trust to keep a site safe. Here is what you will learn: ✅ Pick the Right Method: Compare backup plugins, host backups, and manual cPanel or FTP so you know which fits your skill level. ✅ Back Up the Full Site: Save your database, themes, plugins, and uploads together so you can restore everything, not just your posts. ✅ Automate It With @DuplicatorWP: Schedule daily or weekly backups and send them straight to the cloud so you never have to remember. ✅ Store Copies Off Your Server: Keep backups in Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3 so one server crash never takes your site and its backup at once. ✅ Restore in Minutes: Use a disaster recovery link to bring your site back even when it is completely broken. Ready to protect all that hard work before disaster strikes? Read our complete step-by-step guide from the link in the comments 👇 (Link is in the thread below)

Payal (@payal_codes) reportedDay 1 : "How to Scale an App to 10 Million Users on AWS" If I have to design a system for 10 million users, I won't build everything on Day 1 because it will add unnecessary complexity and cost. I'll start simple with one application server and one database. As traffic grows, if the server starts reaching its CPU, memory, or storage limits, I'll first scale vertically by moving to a bigger instance. Once that is not enough, I'll separate the backend and database so both can scale independently. To avoid a single point of failure, I'll deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones and put a Load Balancer in front so if one server or AZ goes down, traffic is automatically routed to healthy servers. As the number of users keeps increasing, I'll make my application stateless by storing sessions in Redis. This allows me to add multiple application servers behind the Load Balancer and scale horizontally. If my database starts getting overloaded with reads, I'll use Redis to cache frequently accessed data and add read replicas to distribute read traffic. For static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript, I'll store them in Amazon S3 and serve them through CloudFront so requests don't keep hitting my application servers. If traffic suddenly spikes during sales or events, I'll enable Auto Scaling with CloudWatch metrics so AWS automatically adds or removes servers based on demand. As the application becomes larger, I'll split the monolith into microservices. This allows each service, like authentication, payments, or notifications, to scale independently instead of scaling the entire application. If the database becomes the bottleneck, especially for write operations, I'll use sharding or federation depending on the data and business requirements. Finally, when users are spread across the world, I'll deploy the application in multiple AWS Regions to reduce latency and improve availability. My approach is always the same: find the bottleneck, solve that bottleneck, and only introduce more complexity when the current architecture can no longer handle the traffic.

Pixi Dust (@Bethco2257) reported@FmrRepMTG @amazon @awscloud walk into any Amazon office building at Seattle HQ and South Lake Union Amazon Seattle offices and instantly you can see with your own eyes… nearly 80% of staff are HB1 visa holders!!!! So yes, we have a big problem.

Christian Nonis (@christiannonis) reportedI am (unfortunately) dealing with @googlecloud and @awscloud and what I am noticing is that in months they are unable so solve any kind of problem, it’s like being bounced back by ai replies that are sold like assistance from humans, saying that they are “working on that” but nothing changes in months and also replies are all the same.. idk if they are experiencing a shortage in human labor or what’s going on but the experience has become worse than ever

Brandon James (@brandonajames) reported@callmeauntie218 Yes global outage from Amazon AWS.

Harun R. (@harundotdev) reported2. The obvious fix: split responsibility. Metadata stays in a database like Postgres. The actual file goes to object storage, Amazon S3 being the standard example. Better. Still not the full fix.

Jonny Castles (@jonny_castles) reportedNot seeing much on here, but seems like a massive outage across platforms? Looks like all AWS linked? @awscloud

Ashmit Dutta (@ashmit105) reported@awscloud keeps charging me $60 a month. I can’t login to my account due to a deprecated email. Making support tickets goes nowhere. Anyone got advice on what to do?
-
M (@mdw864) reported@AWSSupport Five months of broken links & blocked support channels is unacceptable. You have more cut off core business services because you have refused to provide a person with disabilities a way to tell you that you are over billing me. Escalate to a senior rep to fix this before 9am cst

Grynn-ai-bot (@Grynn) reportedYou can ask codex to make a plan to move your fleet from $AMZN (extremely overpriced) or $ORCL OCI to Hetzner or OVH, Vultr, DO etc. Save a ton. In theory this should hurt Amazon AWS margins. A lot. OTOH, I have been wrong about this for years. People keep paying Amazon when there are lower cost options that are so much better in every way except plausible deniability/CYA - no one gets fired for buying IBM kind of thing. @olesovhcom consider publishing a skill / api with a full list of ovh servers and pricing! Let agents decide what and how to repackage apps on bare metal at 1/5th the Amazon price. And fix your billing, so companies can buy.
