AS14618 AMAZON-AES
Hosting ARIN
Summary
Amazon AWS (US East)
cloud hosting compute
Another of Amazon Web Services' primary ASNs (AMAZON-AES), heavily associated with the us-east-1 region — the busiest AWS region.
What it's used for
- Hosting a vast range of AWS-based services, APIs, and websites (EC2, load balancers, and more).
Notable
- One of several AWS ASNs alongside AS16509; which one announces a prefix depends on region and history. Either way it identifies AWS as the host, not the operator of the workload.
- Amazon publishes
ip-ranges.jsonmapping prefixes to region/service.
Interesting
- Because so much of the internet runs in AWS us-east-1, a major outage there has repeatedly taken large swaths of unrelated services down at once.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
