Good place to ask, saw a new AWS User agent in logs today: Amazon-Quick-on-Behalf-of-$HEXID
I found a mention on some user agent trackers but no official documentation. Anyone knows if it’s documented? Asking because I am seeing decent traffic (30GB/week) from this.
- iLoveOncall 4mo agoAmazon Quick is the new name of Quicksight, which is the BI tool from AWS. It has AI agents included so I guess this can just come from it searching the web based on user requests.
- embedding-shape 4mo agoCame across this recently too, seems to be from "Amazon Quick" where crawling other's websites is basically a feature of the product: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quick/latest/userguide/web-crawler-integration.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quick/latest/userguide/web-crawl... > Crawling behavior [...] Crawler identification: Identifies itself with user-agent string "aws-quick-on-behalf-of-<UUID>" in request headers. Maybe people found a way of using it as a loophole for something or Amazon Quick is just picking up in usage, and your website is popular amongst whoever uses that sort of stuff.
