Amazon Visiting?

[Logan18]

I keep getting guests with this information like this:
Hostname: ec2-184-72-131-29.compute-1.amazonaws.com
ISP: AMAZON.COM
Organization: AMAZON.COM
Proxy: None detected
Type: Corporate

All different IP Addresses. What are these?

Looks like a Amazon Crawler Bot to me.

Amazon has crawler bots?

I've never been too sure about what the Amazon bots do, unless they are crawling the Internet themselves. I always got the impression they are Alexa related, or for their affiliate program?

It's a bot from here, not entirely sure what it does though

http://aws.amazon.com/

Ok, thanks!

Very few legit bots (in my opinion) come from AWS. They aren't officially Amazon, they are bots/crawlers made by other people on the AWS cloud.
