Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. In the December outage, which Amazon called an \u201cextremely limited event\u201d that did not have an impact on customer-facing service, engineers allowed Kiro to make changes and the tool opted to \u201cdelete and recreate the environment.\u201d Amazon has a closely tracked internal target that 80% of its developers use AI to code once a week, employees told the FT. The company says the December incident was a \u201cuser access control issue\u201d and not an issue with Kiro\u2019s permissions.AWS accounted for 57% of Amazon\u2019s operating profit in 2025. In December, following a larger outage months earlier, AWS and Google announced a partnership to attempt to prevent massive network outages.Update, February 20, 5:50 p.m. ET: In a statement to Sherwood News, an AWS spokesperson disputed the report, writing:\u201cThese brief events were the result of user error \u2014 specifically misconfigured access controls \u2014 not AI. The December service interruption was an extremely limited event when a single service (AWS Cost Explorer \u2014 which helps customers visualize, understand, and manage AWS costs and usage over time) in one of our two Regions in Mainland China was affected. This event didn\u2019t impact compute, storage, database, AI technologies, or any other of the hundreds of services that we run. We are not aware of any related customer inquiries resulting from this isolated interruption. Following these events, we implemented numerous additional safeguards, including mandatory peer review for production access, enhanced training on AI-assisted troubleshooting, and resource protection measures. Kiro puts developers in control \u2014 users need to configure which actions Kiro can take, and by default, Kiro requests authorization before taking any action.\u201dIn the December outage, which Amazon called an \u201cextremely limited event\u201d that did not have an impact on customer-facing service, engineers allowed Kiro to make changes and the tool opted to \u201cdelete and recreate the environment.\u201d Amazon has a closely tracked internal target that 80% of its developers use AI to code once a week, employees told the FT.
