5ish years ago it was common knowledge that us-east-1 is generally the worst place to put anything that needs to be reliable. I guess this is still true?

- beermonster 5y agous-east-1 seems to be AWS’s not so well kept little dark secret! In all seriousness though - even non-regional AWS services seem to have ties to us-east-1 as evidenced by the recent outages. So you might be impacted even if it looks like (on paper at least) you’re not using any services tied to that region.
- taf2 5y agoI don't know about that. It was more like common knowledge that one availability zone in us-east-1 was a problem - you would have to figure out which one it was usually by spinning up instances in all 4 zones (now 6)... and that it was the largest of all regions making it ideal place to put your service if you wanted to be close to other vendors/partners in AWS...
- thow-58d4e8b 5y agoUnfortunately, the fact that us-east-1 is roughly 10% cheaper than other regions usually overrides any other concerns
