us-east-1b seems to be affected for me.
4:36 PM PDT We are investigating network connectivity issues for some instances in a single Availability Zone in the US-EAST-1 Region.
- gregwtmtno 9y agoI'm having problems in us-east-1c
- misframer 9y agoThe AZ names are different for each account.
- swvjeff 9y agoWow, how did I not know this? Thanks for the info.
- vacri 9y agoThey randomise the AZ letters, because humans tend to shove things in 'a' before anywhere else - it's a psychological load-balancer. If you want to figure out which of your AZs corresponds to another account's AZs, you can compare spot-prices, which are individual per AZ. Also, for some reason, my account doesn't have a 'b', just a-c-d-e. Weird.
- misframer 9y agoThey also introduced us-east-1f, and it's the same for everyone because it's new :).
- misframer 9y agoNot sure why I was downvoted. This was mentioned in an issue of Last Week in AWS [0]. [0] https://snarkive.lastweekinaws.com/issue_14-_US-East-1_Drops_An_F-Bomb.html https://snarkive.lastweekinaws.com/issue_14-_US-East-1_Drops...
- nodesocket 9y agoInteresting that the idea is to distribute load across the zones (because people default to using A), but Google Cloud zones are uniform across all accounts and it seems to work for Google.

- JonRB 9y agoInteresting! Do you know anywhere I can read more about this?
- misframer 9y agoYep, it's in the documentation [0]. [0] http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-regions-availability-zones.html#concepts-availability-zones http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-reg...
- gregwtmtno 9y agoThanks! did not know that.
- rickpmg 9y ago1d here I heard that aws actually scrambled availability zones... so your 1a might be my 1c, etc.. Haven't confirmed it, but the comments seem to bear that out.
