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.
