I think Google Compute Engine does exactly that, with a direct connection between regions so the entire system works as one network. I'm not sure if that will be the case outside the US, though.
- rdl 14y agoI don't know if I'd trust Amazon to run links between their data centers. They had a couple routing related outages just this year alone (which lasted for some time), and adding complexity would make that worse. You could easily lose interconnections between hosts in AZs in distinct 3 regions, partitioning everything, making it irrelevant that all 3 actually stay up and are accessible to outside users.
