Amazon Web Services outage hits major websites: What we know so far as recovery begins - Lemmy.World

Asked earlier why everyone puts their resources in us-east-1 when that’s the only DC I’ve know to crash. Anyone?

My Lightsail instance running a PiHole is in west-1 or west-2, I forget, no issues today.

“Global” services like CloudFront and Route53 are really us-east-1 under the hood with replication to other regions.
