Two months after Iranian drone strikes targeted AWS infrastructure in the UAE and Bahrain, Amazon has announced that restoring full cloud operations will take several more months. With billing suspended and an estimated $150 million in usage charges already waived, AWS is strongly urging affected customers to migrate their data to alternate cloud regions.

Amazon Web Services posted its fastest growth in nearly four years, with Q1 2026 revenue jumping 28% to $37.6 billion. However, this massive AI-driven cloud expansion comes at a high cost, as Amazon's quarterly capital expenditures topped $43 billion to support the infrastructure boom.

Ahead of the 2026 Draft Combine in Chicago, the NBA has launched its new AWS-powered Data Hub. The platform turns raw testing metrics—like wingspans and vertical leaps—into valuable insights, offering historical context that lets fans and analysts compare this year's top prospects against a quarter-century of Combine data.

Is the SaaS industry doomed by agentic AI? AWS CEO Matt Garman says the "SaaSpocalypse" fears are overblown. Instead of replacing software, Garman believes AI will remake it—and AWS is leading the charge by revamping Amazon Quick into an always-on, productivity-boosting desktop assistant.
