Yes, I had a good laugh at that. It might technically be a regression, but not one that most people will see in practice. Pretty weird that someone at Amazon is bothering to run those tests without hugepages.
I doubt they explicitly said "I'll run without huge pages, which is an important AWS configuration". They probably just forgot a step. And "someone at Amazon" describes a lot of people; multiply your mental probability tables accordingly.
