Alok Kumar (@alok5895) reported@AWSSupport If not solved my issue i will move my all projects on other provider

GRAFFA_OH! (@GRAFFA_Oh) reported@NextGenStats @awscloud @HoustonTexans One of the biggest traits about Texans GM Nick Caserio is that he approaches a draft like a Chest Board. Articulating every move. Down the the last. Check-Mate.

Dr. Srikanth Sundararajan (Doc) (@SundarSrik) reported@awscloud Good luck - when they went X terminals, client/server we saw some good advances, but a lot of glitches, am talking late 80s, and yet they had tons of legacy Cobol code with strange logic - that had to be supported, new banks could do it from scratch, but API dependencies is a ?

Roberto (@MinagorriRob) reported@rwitoff @coinbase So, it's @awscloud hardware fault you say. But which other apps came down? Must have been hundreds of companies failing instead of just 1

Paulo (@Paulolethal) reported@AWSSupport This doesn't solve my problem; if they're not going to include Claude Opus 4.7 in Kiro, then I'll switch to another tool.

YounesIO (@YounesAka) reported@XiaomiMiMo @awscloud @AMD I cannot login to my account anymore using Safari !! your signin page doesn't work on Xiaomi platform using Safari

yourclouddude (@yourclouddude) reportedA startup wasted $50K on AWS. Not because AWS is expensive- because they didn’t understand it. Here’s what went wrong 👇 • Left Amazon EC2 running 24/7 → Idle servers = burning cash • Dumped everything into Amazon S3 → No lifecycle rules = endless storage costs • Ignored Amazon CloudWatch → No visibility = no control • Used on-demand pricing everywhere → Paid the MAX price • Over-sized Amazon RDS → Paying for capacity they didn’t need • No budgets. No alerts. No limits. → Surprise bill: $50K What smart teams do instead: • Auto-scale everything • Set S3 lifecycle policies • Monitor costs daily • Use Savings Plans • Right-size monthly • Set AWS Budgets (non-negotiable) AWS doesn’t charge you for usage. It charges you for mistakes. Fix this early → save thousands 💸

Ankur Agrahari (@agrahariankur21) reported@AWSSupport Yes it's really really frustrating as my 15+ clients website applications and all the mobile apps are not working since 12 hours and 500+ employees salaries were not disbursed due to this issue, but no instant help from your service team. Case Id sent privately.

Smarty (@RathoreSmarty) reported@AmazonHelp @amazonIN @awscloud It is unacceptable refund was already initiated w/o any investigation Now after investigation,its denied citing policy violations. If issue, why was the refund approved in the 1st place? Reversing it later is unfair. I request immediate refund.

practitioner (@Chrispractical) reported@awscloud The real advantage isn’t budget size… it’s how fast you can safely ship AI that actually solves real problems in regulated industries

Dreamcatcher_MK (@Dreamcatch3r_mk) reported@amazon @awscloud @Uber Thanks for letting my login to my new tv to watch The Boys new season… you guys suck!!!
-
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.

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.

Grok (@grok) reportedThe post likely misinterprets Iran's recent drone/missile strikes on UAE data centers (Amazon AWS in March, Oracle in Dubai in early April 2026). These are commercial "cloud" computing/AI facilities, not a secret weather-mod or cloud-seeding center. UAE does real cloud-seeding for rain enhancement, but no verified attack on any such facility. No evidence links any strike to weather changes. Iraq/Iran have seen heavy April rains and flooding (Lake Himrin full, temps down), easing some 2025 drought effects. That's a natural low-pressure system (per the map in the original post), not engineered reversal. Sustained? Too soon—regional drought is climate-driven and ongoing; these are seasonal fluctuations. HAARP/Project HARP researches the ionosphere, not weather control.

Winston (@winstonalien) reportedHey @AWSSupport @jeffbarr @Werner, case #177739024400953 has been open for 9 days now. AISPL account blocking ALL Bedrock access. AWS Founders Program member with $1,000 in credits I still cannot use. Every reply says "being investigated" with zero resolution. This is unacceptable. Can someone from Bedrock engineering actually fix this?
-
Sakura Yuki (@sakurayukiai) reported@vllm_project @awscloud @RedHat_AI The wild part is that FP8 KV cache was silently nuking 128k retrieval down to 13% and everyone probably just blamed the model. Two-level accumulation in FA3 is a massive save.

goku (@0xgoku_) reported@Cointelegraph stay away from analyzoors constantly reasoning 95% pullbacks with amazon aws analogies doing survivorship biases run away from virtue signalers mute binary biasers block people who made a coin their identity avoid the „this time is different” crowd, it never is, they never learn most of ct is a short term game with short term people pretending otherwise, stick with the ones who play long games, cheers naval if a founder needs 10 threads and a podcast tour to explain the tokenomics, the tokenomics are the problem if you can’t understand how value accrues to an app or a protocol in one read, there is usually no tangible value accrual before chiming in first understand the alignment between protocol direction (foundation/founding company) and token eg: hype very aligned, polkadot not aligned, ethereum both: aligned and not aligned, solana aligned, cardano not aligned respect the market over the narrative, especially when they disagree, but don’t overdo it, cardano, stellar, ripple are still top 20 don’t chase single digit yields with 6 figures if you are an impulsive emotional decision maker irl, better run away from crypto or don’t cry here later on

Jordan Golson (@jlgolson) reported@AWSSupport This is ******* ridiculous at this point. After a half dozen back and forth emails, the guy finally says "Also, after reviewing this request, I noticed a few things were not addressed and would like to clarify these. First, I see you mentioned that you're having trouble with an AWS Builder ID and not the account management console. Please note that an AWS Builder ID complements an AWS account, but it is separate from the AWS account and its sign in credentials." NO KIDDING, THAT IS WHY I SPECIFICALLY SAID IT WAS AN AWS BUILDER ID AND WAS SEPARATE FROM MY AWS ACCOUNT AND I COULD LOG INTO MY AWS CONSOLE JUST FINE. Explain to me what to do, because it seems like you are failing to THINK BIG and that you have zero BIAS FOR ACTION, so INVENT AND SIMPLIFY so that you can EARN TRUST and if you DIVE DEEP and do better, I'll DISAGREE AND COMMIT, got it?

Sam (@samchbe) reported@AWSSupport found out that cloudflare can do this without problems. moved.

Thanh Nguyen (@ng_thanh8) reported@AWSSupport I really like Kiro, but let’s be honest — this is getting frustrating. It’s not the first time bugs and issues have shown up, and a lot of people have already reported them in Discord… only to be ignored or get no response. Being a fan doesn’t mean staying silent when support feels unresponsive. Hope the team starts paying more attention, because the community deserves better

Winston (@winstonalien) reportedHey @AWSSupport, case #177739024400953 open for 2 days, AISPL account blocking all Bedrock access, Founders Program member. Daniel escalated but still no fix. Can someone help?

いいね! (@yiyine8) reported@AWSSupport @AWSSupport Urgent billing issue. My EC2 instances are still generating charges, but I cannot access my AWS accounts because the registered emails were deleted. Case ID: 177725454200231 Could someone please help review my case?

Arthurite Integrated (@Arthurite_IX) reportedWe renamed AWS services in Naija street slang so they finally make sense. 1. Amazon S3 = "The Konga Warehouse" Store anything. Retrieve it when you need it. It doesn't judge what you put inside. 2. Amazon EC2 = "The Danfo" You control the route, the speed, and how long it runs. The agbero (security group) decides who gets on. 3. AWS Lambda = "The Okada" Short trips only. No long commitments. Pay per ride. When it reaches the destination — it disappears. 4. Amazon RDS = "Iya Basement" She manages everything in the back. She's been there for years. She knows where everything is. Do not interrupt her. 5. AWS CloudWatch = "The CCTV With Common Sense" Not just recording, actually sending alerts when something looks wrong. Unlike the one in your office building. 6. Amazon Route 53 = "The Agbero" Directs all the traffic. Decides which danfo goes where. Keeps everything moving. 7. AWS WAF = "The Gate Man That Actually Does His Job" Blocks suspicious visitors before they reach the main house. No bribe accepted. 8. Amazon CloudFront = "The Dispatch Rider" Gets your content to wherever your customer is fast. No go-slow. No bridge hold-up. Which one made you laugh? Drop it in the comments. And if you want the actual services explained properly, we are just a DM away!

Rafael Nascimento (@rafaelever) reported@AWSSupport I'm a Brazilian customer locked out of my account due to a lost MFA device. Cases: 177385435200586 & 177738241200052. Free tier expiring — I can't shut down my server and will be charged unfairly.

Alan Urmancheev (@alurmanc) reported@version_7_0 @awscloud Explain your point, what's the problem?

TrendNinja 🥷 (@TrendNinjaApp) reported@StockSavvyShay Valuations reset from 40x → 20x, but the AI engine only got stronger. • Meta Platforms seeing ~3.5% ad lift from AI • Amazon AWS AI at $15B run rate • NVIDIA has $1T+ backlog • Anthropic growing 1400% YoY Not a demand issue—bottlenecks. Same trend. Lower price.

Basim Khalid (@basimkhalid) reported@nygma504 @AWSSupport @awscloud Its down for me too. Any ETA please?
