"If you're affected by us-east-1 outages then you're not hosting in other regions and you're doing it wrong".

Except: You can be affected by this outage if you did everything right. You're putting blame on people being down for not being hosted in different regions when it would not help them. You've effectively shifted blame away from Amazon and onto the person who cannot control their uptime by doing what you said.

You are attributing a quote to me which I never expressed, nor was that expressed elsewhere in this thread. You are even using quotation marks....

I certainly didn't mean to blame anyone. You appear to see this AWS issue as one of victims and victimizers. I was just trying to point out an agency that people may have in some situations.

I was not quoting you, I was echoing your sentiment back to you with different words to see if you disagreed with it.

I was just re-wording the sentiment.

Let me quote you properly.

> Also, you can just take two different amazon regions and hope they don't both go down at the same time.

Do you see how replacing that in my comments does not change the sentiment?
