us-east is a geographic distinction within which there are multiple regions. us-east-1 and us-east-2 are not the same. This outage occurred in us-east-2. Within an AWS region there are multiple data centers. They call their data centers availability zones. The availability zone AZ1 was the one impacted, and within that availability zone, most likely only a subset of servers. us-east-1 is the region you're thinking of that has issues. Mostly due to being the largest region (I think?) and like you mentioned, the oldest. |

Also, because shared and global AWS resource are (or at least often behave as if they are) intimately tied to us-east-1.
