Is this well known/documented? I don't have anything on AWS but previously worked for a company that used it fairly heavily. We had everything in EU regions and I never saw any indication/warning that we had a dependency on us-east-1. But I assume we probably did based on the blast radius of today's outage.
- captainkrtek 1y agoSome of the “global” and “edge” services depend on us-east-1. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-fault-isolation-boundaries/global-services.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-fault-iso... “In the aws partition, the IAM service’s control plane is in the us-east-1 Region, with isolated data planes in each Region of the partition.“ Also, intra-region, many of the services use eachother, and not in a manner where the public can discern the dependency map.
