In this case AWS sign in is down (perhaps it depends on Dynamo), so redundancy across regions can only help you if fail over is fully automatic which has it's own problems (split brain syndrome...)
- acdha 11y agoAWS sign-in appears to be working but in general it's true that you need some sort of automatic failover. However, isn't that true for every option other than accepting downtime? It doesn't seem like an AWS-specific challenge other except at the implementation level.
- sitharus 11y agoOne of the first things Amazon tell you about AWS is the API is king - the console is hosted in us-east-1 but the API is hosted in each region independently. You don't need automatic failover, but you do need your own scripts to talk to the AWS API. The whole point of AWS is automation.
