Amazonbot is finally respecting robots.txt

Amazon has updated its web crawler (Amazonbot) to properly respect robots.txt directives, ensuring organizations have better control over which web properties the crawler can access and index. This change reduces unauthorized crawling and gives IT teams more granular control over their digital footprint and web resource allocation. For technology leaders, this represents improved alignment between major cloud providers and web standards, potentially reducing unexpected traffic and bandwidth costs from aggressive bot activity.
