Yes, I know they pseudo randomize the allocations. That is irrelevant to my core point, that each AZ is not just separate networks in the same building or even adjacent buildings, but rather they are truly isolated by a non-insignificant distance of somewhere around 50mi on average.
- Johnny555 8y agoIt's a cool map, but I can't find any reference for the source of the data center locations. AWS purposely doesn't publish that information, and while I can believe it's possible to crowdsource the data by doing a little sleuthing (or working for certain vendors), it's hard to trust the map without knowing the sources.
