AWS doesn't follow their own advice about hosting multi-regional so every time us-east-1 has significant issues pretty much every AZ and region is affected. Specifically large parts of the management API, and IAM service are seemingly centrally hosted in us-east-1. If your infrastructure is static you'll largely avoid the fallout, but if you rely on API calls or dynamically created resources you can get caught in the blast regardless of region
