In the article I improperly used "availability zones" to mean spanning both the AWS AZ construct and the AWS region construct. My point was specifically that by building your app to either function in US East, CA, Ireland, Singapore, and Tokyo or to fail over to one of those locations, you can avoid a situation where you've put all your eggs in one basket.

Sure, by mirroring to another region completely, you'd avoid an EBS downtime, but the same could be said for having another provider too. The idea of AWS being you pay less and pay for what you use with the understanding that you can mirror to another AZ in moments to recover from issues.
