A couple pieces of gentle pushback here:
- if you chose a hyperscaler, you should use their (often one-click) geographic redundancy & failover.
- All of the hyperscalers have more than one AZ. Specifically, there's no reason for any AWS customer to locate all/any* of their resources in us-east-1. (I actively recommend against this.)
* - Except for the small number of services only available in us-east-1, obviously.
- wongarsu 11mo agoHetzner also offers more than one datacenter, which you should obviously use if you want geographic redundancy. But the comment I was replying was saying "Even dropping something on a single EC2 node in us-east-1", and for a single EC2 node in us-east-1 none of the things you are mentioning are possible without violating the premise
