Anyone have any details on why us-east-1 seems to be less reliable than the other regions? Is it the oldest?

- sausagefeet 14y agoI'm under the impression it's the most used.
- NoPiece 14y agoIt probably is the most used, being a cheaper alternative to us-west, but are you suggesting it fails more because it is used more? It does seem that the big AWS outages (in the us) have been concentrated in us-east. I have wondered if it just because us-east is newer so they haven't had has much time to work things out, or that the us-west team is a little better? edit: btw, I am not dismissing "used more" as a valid theory. More use = more hardware = more complexity which could lead to more failures.
- sausagefeet 14y agoMy theory is "used more".
- rabbitfang 14y agoThere are two different us-west regions. One in Oregon (priced the same as us-east) and one in California.
- malachismith 14y agoIt's the oldest, yes.
- jaylevitt 14y agoAccording to this calculation (which attempted to probe all the racks in EC2), over 70% of EC2 lives in us-east. http://huanliu.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/amazon-data-center-size/ http://huanliu.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/amazon-data-center-s...
