I'd love to see what source(s) this claim has in practice. How did you arrive at 9-9s? Shouldn't it be spread over 3 Regions rather than Availability Zones, as otherwise it could just end up in the same geographical region while giving the impression it's spread across many.

- harshaw 4y agothis is all over AWS documentation; you get the durability via erasure encoding / replication over multiple AZs in one region. Regional blast radius protects again one AZ going down. You don't run a service like S3 across AZs in different regions because of speed of light. if you are paranoid about a region going down you use replication.
