The real story from this incident is that Amazon’s “aws” partition doesn’t actually have multiple regions - effectively, it’s all IAD in a trench-coat.

This is a big deal. My employer has already started to look at bringing back our old racks from storage and switching back to on-premises. Cannot imagine he’s alone in that.

Can you elaborate what convinced you of this? We were running mostly in us-west and saw almost no impact, despite using a broad spectrum of AWS infrastructure and tooling.

We had business as usual today.
