So why are people not migrating out of us-east-1? Operating in ap-southeast, we weren't that affected by the us-east-1 down time, although our system is reasonably static and doesn't make lots of IAM calls (which seems to be a large SPOF from us-east-1).
- taf2 5y agolatency. us-east-1 is positioned very nicely relative to many large businesses in North America and Europe. This gives you pretty good access to a very large percentage of the economies of the world with good latency... while not requiring you to architect your application around multiple regions...
- dijit 5y agoSome “global” systems run in us-east1 even if you’re not hosted there a service you depend on might be. Notably: cognito, r53 and the default web UI. (You can work around the webui one I’m told, by passing a different domain instead of just console.aws.amazon.com)
- watermelon0 5y agoDon't forget about CloudFront, which can only be configured via us-east-1.
