AS16509 — AMAZON-02

Network type: hosting

AS16509 announces 6,021 IPv4 prefixes covering 157,371,134 addresses and 1,540 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One of the main Autonomous Systems behind Amazon Web Services (AWS), the largest public cloud provider. Addresses here belong to EC2 instances, load balancers, and other AWS-hosted infrastructure.

What it's used for

• Hosting a vast range of third-party services, APIs, and websites that run on AWS compute (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda behind NAT, etc.).
• Amazon publishes its cloud IP ranges as a machine-readable ip-ranges.json, broken down by region and service.

Notable

• An IP in this ASN identifies AWS as the host, not the operator of whatever runs on it — it could be a Fortune 500 app or an abusive VPS.
• AWS uses several ASNs (e.g. AS14618 Amazon US-East, AS16509 globally); which one announces a given prefix varies by region and history.

Interesting

• AWS launched in 2006 with S3 and EC2, effectively creating the modern infrastructure-as-a-service market.
