Why does Bitbucket depend on AWS DC? Why wouldn't I just connect to it over the internet? Or is part of it in your own DC?

Yea, this makes no sense to me. I have a pretty heavy workload in AWS (us-east-1), don't use DC AT ALL and nothing is down for me today (except Atlassian Jira/Confluence Cloud), we self host BB. Why their 'cloud' based application relies on DC is very odd.

I don't know but my guess would be anything that isn't core storage - we know they run their own SAN on their own hardware because that was the cause of another outage a month or two ago.

At a guess:

- Bitbucket Pipelines

- Webhook workers

- Front-end web servers

- SSH push/pull workers

Basically anything that's elastic to demand. Presumably the cost of AWS storage makes it not worth it for the Bitbucket team.
