"For a company like Amazon..."
True, but also, they're at a size where staffing and operating peering
operations generously has a negligible impact on the fiscal situation of the
company (or even department).

Subject: RE: Amazon peering revisited
Have gotten into the habit of making annual peering requests to Amazon asking
turn up a session on a shared IXP peering. Once was able to get a peering
session turned up, no traffic was ever shifted onto it before we moved out of
that carrier hotel a year or so later. The amazon peering email box does have
humans surfing it.
Over the years a number of network operators have mentioned getting little
response from Amazon about peering requests.
For a company like Amazon they have little reason to do peering with small
scale operators. They already peer with the tier 1’s and assume I will do what
I need to balance my bits. The fancy algorithms they use to balance traffic
around does allow them to operate a decent network with fewer staff and less
links to the small ISPs. Just a network operator here, trying to get my bytes
across the wire.
Enjoy your weekend!

Hi all, a nanog thread started on November 23, 2018 discussed the challenges of
getting Amazon peering sessions turned up. Has anyone had luck since/does
anyone have a contact they could refer me to — off-list or otherwise? The
process of getting PNI in place with other CSPs was straightforward, but I
haven't heard back from AWS after a month and several follow-ups. Our customers
would really benefit from us getting this sorted.
There are many folks that here that are in AWS. Assuming you have followed what
is in https://aws.amazon.com/peering/ (and
https://aws.amazon.com/peering/policy/ ) then send me details privately about
what/when/who and I'll reach out internally to the relevant folks.
