I see this a lot. Is there any reason why this particular region will have so many issues?

- notatoad 5y agoA big reason is it’s the largest region. More servers = more likely to have problems
- TheDong 5y agoEC2 existed in us-east-1 only for 2 years before it was launched in a second region. Those 2 years were already enough to pick up some legacy cruft and special cases. us-east-1 is also the first region for various other old services, like s3 and route53. I think it's also the largest region across many axis, which naturally means it will hit various scaling issues before other regions.
- ufoolme 5y agoNot sure if it is related but it is usually one of the first to get or be trialing new features. I believe a few global services are run out of us-east-1 as well.
- guidedlight 5y agoThis is my understanding as well. New features are rolled out in us-east-1 first, then progressively through the remainder of the regions.
