A trajectory topic: this kind of incidents makes it extremely unpleasant to work for AWS as an engineer. AWS treats security seriously. This type of incidents prompts AWS to introduce more red tapes for good reasons, but the side effect is that engineers are subject to kinda hostile development environment. A SDE-2 security engineer could shut down a major project by citing vague reasons like "the design is not user friendly", for whatever the f&*% that means, and the team had to escalate all the way to L8 or even L10 with pages and pages of "narratives" to get unblocked. Engineers can't ssh to production machines (again, for good reasons). Data platforms have rigorous rules for egress connections, making data processing very unpleasant, to say the least. If you were an engineer who just enjoys getting things done, working for a smaller company will be a much more pleasant experience.
