Amazon.com will supply OpenAI with cloud computing services under a multi-year $38 billion deal, giving the ChatGPT maker access to hundreds of thousands of Nvidia graphics processors to train and run its artificial intelligence models.

AWS outage from DNS, EC2 and DynamoDB issues explained as cloud infrastructure at data centers and potentially AI technology played a role as Amazon invests in AI.

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

Thousands of websites and apps like Snapchat, Roblox, Ring and more were down or experiencing issues Monday morning as a major cloud computing service went offline.

In a statement, Amazon Chief Executive Andy Jassy (pictured) said AWS is now growing at a pace that hasn’t been seen since 2022, primarily due to demand for AI resources. “We continue to see strong demand in AI and core infrastructure, and we’ve been focused on accelerating capacity – adding more than 3.8 gigawatts in the past 12 months,” he said.

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