Could Amazon S3 (& AWS generally) Services Be Affected by DDOS Botnet Attacks Against Amazon.com

With groups planning to attack Amazon, does anyone have an idea if customers who use their Cloud Services could be affected? I get that they are trying to shut down the retail side, but do you think this would affect web apps that use AWS?

Last, is there something/strategy t开发者_运维技巧hat web app companies can take, if such an attack was directed at AWS?

No, I wouldn't suppose so. AWS and amazon (as in: the webshop) are two completely different services and are on different servers. An attack on the frontpage would be quite sufficient though, as it is a major income for the organisation.
