AWS redesigns cloud infrastructure for AI agent traffic as machines reshape the internet

The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Amazon's AWS is redesigning its cloud infrastructure to accommodate AI agents, which behave very differently from human users. Unlike humans who browse steadily, AI agents can unleash rapid bursts of activity—spinning up multiple sub-agents, querying hundreds of databases, and calling APIs in seconds before disappearing. AWS launched its next-generation OpenSearch Serverless, a fully managed search and vector database, as part of this shift. Cloudflare and other providers are also rethinking infrastructure for a future where machine-generated internet traffic dominates over human-driven traffic.
