Interesting if this becomes an AWS "region", because I would have thought that independent power supplies for the different AZs are part of the promise of what an AWS region/AZ is about.
But if the data center(s) are all getting power from one source, that's a SPOF.
- londons_explore 3y agoI'm sure the site also has power lines out to the rest of the grid.
- H8crilA 3y agoSo much for savings on power lines cost (but at least there are savings on power line power losses).
- easton 3y agoThey say (you can kind of prove it but not really because they don't officially list locations) that AZs are supposed to be on different flood planes and stuff so that the chances of an entire region failure due to a natural disaster are minimized. I think that means that the other AZs probably wouldn't be really close to the power station like this one. (they could run lines I guess)
