Relationship with the OpenClaw Ecosystem

As the world's largest cloud service provider, AWS's support for OpenClaw is of symbolic significance. From EC2 to Lightsail and Bedrock integration, AWS provides a complete deployment stack from infrastructure to AI models. However, media outlets like InfoQ have also pointed out the risks of launching managed services before security vulnerabilities are fully resolved. AWS's involvement not only drives enterprise-level adoption of OpenClaw but also raises community expectations for security.
