You certainly can’t rule out a large company making dumb moves but I have gotten the impression that they’re very hesitant to do anything which would make companies stop trusting them with private data, and the controls they have like allowing you to control the encryption policy for Code Whisperer data support that. It’d have to be worth a lot to make customers question whether it’s safe to use S3 (which uses the same mechanism).

Part of releasing AWS products to customers involves getting cleared by AppSec plus other compliance teams. The products are supposed to be ready months in advance before the AppSec and other teams start working on them.

For whatever reason I got flagged :')

Amazon and AWS have completely separate privacy/security teams and different ways of approaching it. _Every_ AWS service treats user data like radioactive material. If you're an AWS service and you're found to have a way for AWS employees to get access to customer data, that's a fast track for you and your managers to get an invite to a meeting with the CEO to explain how it happened, how you're going to fix it, and what you're going to do to make sure it never happens again. That's not an exaggeration, they take it very seriously.

AWS is very different from Amazon in that regard.

I've used GCP and AWS for about equal time and Google was the one with several worrisome overreaches into customer's accounts moments. Meanwhile AWS actually lets you view and adjust the role and policy given to customer support on your account.
