In 2004, I picked @SwamiSivasubram as my intern. It was probably one of the best decisions I have made as Amazon's CTO. He learned early that you can only test a system properly in a high-fidelity copy of the environment it will actually run in. AWS Emulator, launched today and written and tested entirely by agents, gives you that kind of environment for more than 200 AWS services.

The birth of AGI has allowed us solve problems which were previously impossible by human effort alone, like the Navier-Stokes equations, and how to add spending limits to AWS accounts.
I have so many questions, this is genuinely a great step for aws:
- For email invites, what can a person do inside the project? Is it admin by default, or can you scope roles since theres no IAM?? - how in the world does access control now work, or do u put it after they join aws
- For the new hard spend limits, If S3 gets flooded with a bunch of PUTs, does the pause fire in real time, or hours later when billing/cost explorer does its daily catch up? Please say it's real time 🙏
- For paused projects, the docs say your data is kept, but deleted after 90 days if you take no action. Does storage keep billing past the limit while paused?
