This isn't too surprising; device firmware is harder to get right than, say, a web app. In addition, when your actual hardware is running Amazon-specific firmware, you're staying on AWS for the long haul.

Also, since I don't see a link in there to the product page, go here for more info: https://aws.amazon.com/freertos/

What radios are supported, and on which platforms? Or is this Ethernet only?

Okay, looked further, and it's only on certain devkits from certain manufacturers. I got excited when I saw NXP (I do a lot of 1788/4088 work) and, of course, it's on a random eval board from a single vendor.

It is open source, so you should be able to port it to whatever you're using. Having played with it before, that was certainly the case.

Wow. I normally let a lot slide, but this article is embarrassing for Amazon. Please hire a writer or at least a proofreader.

One of you AWS folks lingering around here might ping Tara and suggest she proofread her posts before publishing them.

Not sure why you were downvoted here, but I totally agree. Nothing wrong with calling out poor writing and proofreading.
