I have never had a production issue in other regions due to a us-east-1 outage. The worst that ever happened was I had to wait to update a Cloudfront distribution because the control plane (based in us-east-1) was down, but the existing configuration continued working fine throughout.
I don't know what the architecture of IAM looks like, but somehow it's never suffered a global outage.
AWS is really, really good at regional isolation.

- TheSoftwareGuy 3y agoI think the data plane is regional
- tedmiston 3y agoI have. Not being able to update your existing resources is still an outage from a DevOps perspective. It might be an API level outage vs an end-user level outage from your customer's perspective, but if the functionality is down, it's an outage.
