Is Amazon Linux a common Linux distro? If so, it's often distributed with AGPL licensed code, I can think of a few pieces of software it has that are AGPL. They haven't been able to do internal forks of Ghostscript, if they were ever to do so, because of AGPL.

Debian is also the other more common one distros with AGPL software included with it.

Other things like forks of BerkleyDB by hyperscalers have all ended up as FOSS because of AGPL. Presumably this is a better example of where non-AGPL code would have not actually seen the light of day.

These distros package AGPL software, but are these AGPL packages part of the base install (I don't think so), and does Amazon use this software on production?

For several Amazon Linux AMIs, yes and yes! For Debian, the software are in the main archive, actually.
