I hope this is only temporary. Where else will we discuss AWS outages when AWS goes down?

Not even a joke.

The IP appears to be us-west-2, so we will still be able to discuss us-east-1 outages alright!

>>cherio+n5
but... the s3 buckets are in us-east-1, and postgres in ap-southeast-2. More regions better than one, for maximum impact with minimum effort.

>>ignora+qa
Is there at least one case when whole region went down ;)) ?

At least once, in 2012? I remember because just two days before we had fully switched over to AWS and hadn’t done multi-region yet. We got our first downtime in 10 years and there was nothing we could do, unlike when we had the servers in a colo. We were at the mercy of Amazon. After that, we moved everything back to real physical servers.
