Okay good to know - Lambda seemed to suggest it could handle an availability zone going down without any trouble.

ECS Fargate's default is to distribute task instances across availability zones too but I'm assume if you use EC2 it might not be as straight-forward.

And that makes sense - I remember during the last outage that affected me it was a compute rather than data failure and the running stuff continued fine, just nothing new was getting created.
