AWS operates 36 Regions in 2025 - The 2014 count does not seem useful
[edit]- As of December 2014, Amazon Web Services operated an estimated 1.4 million servers across 11 regions and 28 availability zones. The global network of AWS Edge locations consists of over 300 points of presence worldwide, including locations in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America.

No mention of Parlor of Jan 6??
[edit]I'm shocked this article has no mention of the deplatformed site Parlor or it's relationship to Jan 6th. This was an extremely Notable new event, and is very relevant. Source: http://time.com/5929888/amazon-parler-aws/ 146.143.4.15 (talk) 14:39, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Discussion regarding reverted edit from Sept 18
[edit]Hello User:Glman,
I'm starting this discussion to follow best practices after you reverted my recent edit to this article. My goal is to understand the specific concerns and find a consensus to re-add the sourced information in a way that meets the community's standards.
The revert summary noted "some major bias issues." I understand that sections dealing with customer criticism require a very careful, neutral tone. However, your revert also removed several straightforward, factual updates that I believe were uncontentious.
To be constructive, I'd like to separate the issues. The edit included: 1. **Factual Announcements:** Sourced information on Amazon Nova and Project Rainier from the 2024 re:Invent conference. 2. **Sourced Criticism:** An expansion of the "Issues" section with sourced details on surprise bills, pricing complexity, and data egress fees.
I believe the announcements from re:Invent are objective facts and their removal has made the article less current. Would you object to me re-adding just that part first?
After that, I am more than happy to post my drafted text for the "criticism" section here for us to review together, so we can refine the wording to ensure it is 100% compliant with WP:NPOV.
My only goal here is to improve the article with verifiable, relevant information. I look forward to collaborating on a solution.
Thank you, Niranjan Ramamurthy (talk) 19:37, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
