It's well known that us-east-1 (the very first) is a pet among AWS's cattle regions.
It has failure modes that none of the other regions have.
- acdha 4y agoI’m aware, but my point was simply that people are prone to overstating the extent of those problems. If it was as bad as lore would have it, it’d be far less popular.
- karmakaze 4y agoWhy would you think it would be less popular? Most everyone that chooses us-east-1 chooses it because they're close to it and 1 is the first number. They don't research it before they start using it.
- acdha 4y agoIf people were experiencing significant downtime they’d leave us-east-1 or AWS. There’s no sign of that happening so I’d suggest that there’s a tendency to over-weight the degree to which people complaining in forums constitutes representative data.
- karmakaze 4y agoThe discussion started as us-east-1 being less reliable than other regions and has strayed far from that into guessing about human behaviour.
