US East 1 was the default region until a few years ago. If your account is older than that, then most likely all your stuff is there.

- jedberg 2y agoThis wasn't an "everyone is in the US" type of post. Even for non-US folks, for a long time the default region was us-east-1, until they switched it to eu-west-1, and about 1/2 of all of AWS customers are in the US, or at least used to be until recently.

- szvsw 2y agoYeah the account is from like 2019 or so. But still, I’m spinning everything up with Terraform or AWS Copilot, so it is still an active choice on my end to put it in us-east-1.
