Amazon Preps for Zombies?

Buried in the new Terms of Service for Amazon Web Services is an interesting reference to a Zombie Apocalypse

I was scrolling through the new Terms of Service that were published by Amazon on September 2, 2021 and came across this peculiar reference in section 42.10. You can get to the TERMS OF SERVICE at the link below.

https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/

After discovering this very strange passage that reads as referenced below, I began to ponder what the purpose of making this entry would serve.

After giving it some consideration, I decided to write a letter to the AWS team members that I work with on a weekly basis. I included account reps, engineers, and executives in this short email which reads as follows:

AWS Team,

What is the purpose of section 42.10 in the new Terms of Service that was published on September 2, 2021?

1. Joke

2. Interesting step to verify customers read the TOS

3. All bases covered for Zombie Apocalypse 

4. Somebody got “cute” and you did not see it yet

5. Combination of 1, 2, or 3

FYI, I do read such materials.
