Amazon's March 2026 AI outages — two separate incidents within three days, totaling more than 6 million lost orders — have done something unusual for the SRE community: they've made a failure mode visible that most teams have been quietly carrying in their production systems without acknowledging. The incidents were traced to AI-generated code changes deployed without adequate approval gates. Amazon's response was a 90-day code safety reset across 335 critical systems, with a new requi
