All I am finding are corroborating articles, maybe you can help me here.

Seems wild that you would promote job titles you don’t hire for, makes me think that it’s reasonable for news outlets to refer to those roles in the same way honestly.

There is nothing in that article that mentions either devops or 40% of any team or role being cut. It doesn’t corroborate anything.

You seem to be kind of annoyed that somebody on the internet hasn’t taken your assertion that you just sort of generally Know Better as strongly as you’d like. You could probably put this entire discussion to bed by clarifying your current position at AWS and how your job there gives you direct knowledge of their devops practices.

It makes a direct claim of hundreds of cloud staff being laid off.

You know what though? I’m not wasting my time with you, the fact was that this was all over social media. Then a huge outage- my original comment was factually accurate even if we contend that the article itself was bunk. And AWS clearly hires DevOps staff.

You’ve not even disproved anything you’re just making me play internet fetch. I’m not replying anymore.

> It makes a direct claim of hundreds of cloud staff being laid off.

I don't have any dog in this fight, but I don't see where this article makes your case. From your article:

> We understand around 100 jobs are at stake.

> Sources familiar with AWS operations who requested anonymity told The Register most of the layoffs affected people in marketing and outreach roles, although chatter on sites like Blind suggests folks in frontline support and in other positions may have been affected, too.
