I'm shocked at how true this is. A huge amount of software is only redundant by being hosted in mutiple parts of aws us east.

That's the funny part. It is spread around 'US East'. If anything catastrophic (or mundane) knocks out power/internet in that region it won't matter how many backups you have. It will bring down large parts of the internet.

That seems to indicate a problem with the decision making behind putting important things in only one region.
