About the .aws extension
AWS Registry LLC runs .aws, which went live in the root zone on Mar 25, 2016 (10.5 years ago). Its ICANN registry agreement was signed on Jun 25, 2015, 274 days before launch. .aws is a brand TLD: under Specification 13 of its ICANN agreement, only AWS Registry LLC and its affiliates can register names in it. That is why its domain count stays small and mostly reflects the company's own sites.
