So wait, when I need to convince customers why AWS is secure for their data, I can't say "It's good enough for Amazon!"?

No, you can say hey amazon might use this if they do a security evaluation first.

It's totally cool for your data though, don't worry about it.

Amazon fucking sucks at dogfooding.

To clarify, an AWS customer has a shared responsibility to describe the security of their systems including how they use AWS tools, and in this respect Amazon is no different than other AWS customers.

GP's comment may have been true at one point, but AWS is extremely mainstream within Amazon now and has been for several years.

This is misleading. This had more to do with internal audit tools and guardrails available than it did the services themselves.

It's still highly restricted for many teams working with customer data
