very surprised by all the infrastructure hosted in us central. the page claims codespaces is functional but it clearly is not. it fails at loading vscode after bootstrapping the environment.

Is it surprising?

Dallas, STL, KC, Chicago all count as central. More or less equidistant for east/west coast markets. Seems like natural edge node coordinates along the scale ladder.

"Central US" in this case, means the Des Moines, IA set of data centers.
