Stop using AWS US East!
- igammarays 9y agoCurious, why? Is us-east-1 known to be problematic? What about us-east-2 (Ohio)?
- insomniacity 9y agoBecause it was the first AWS region, it is known to have the oldest hardware, the most dirty hacks, and the most outages.
- tedmiston 9y agous-east-1 is the oldest region with the oldest hardware which is probably why it has more issues than others

- murph-almighty 9y agoWhy? It's literally an AZ out of many that AWS provides.
- krallja 9y agous-east-1 feels like the region where Amazon rolls things out first. This has two primary effects: * sometimes new things break in unexpected ways * sometimes things get changed for the Rev. B and those revisions don’t get done in Virginia because they’ve already completed the Rev. A rollout. Also, there’s a secondary effect: because it’s the “default” region, it has a LOT more tenants, which means it probably has scaling and HA problems that none of the other regions do.
- bklyn11201 9y agoAWS has an easy nudge available to get people to begin using us-east-2 over us-east-1: introduce new features, new EC2 instance types, etc in us-east-2 first.
- krallja 9y agoI think that’s the problem with us-east-1: it’s the guinea pig region, so of course it’s going to have the most problems. If you don’t need cutting edge features, you shouldn’t be there.
