Kiro allegedly chose to 'delete and recreate the environment,' triggering the disruption. Amazon disputes that Kiro was at fault, attributing the incident to user error — specifically an engineer using a role with broader permissions than intended and misconfigured access controls. The company says Kiro requests authorization before acting by default, and has since added mandatory peer review for production access. The incident highlights broader risks of granting AI agents unsupervised access to production systems. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
