There are only two kinds of cloud regions: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses

I like this a lot, this is a great comparison for hetzner american offerings since it's not big enough for them to even bother investing much into it so there's not that many complains about it. People just dumping it (me included) after discovering the amount of random issues it has probably also doesn't help. if you are using hetzner: avoid everything other than fra region, ideally pray that you are placed in the newer part of the datacenter since it has the upgraded switching spine I haven't seen the old one in a bit so they might have deprecated it entirely.

  Hetzner does not have any "fra region". They have Helsinki, Falkstien and Nuremberg in Europe. None of them which has any issues as far as I know. They used to have some issues with the very old stuff in Falkstien.

Yeah, I was often the single source of reporting Claude outages (or even missing support completely) on less commonly used Amazon Bedrock regions.

  Which regions were you using ? ( Thought claude had global inference support that routed to all regions)
  - Manouchehri 9mo ago
    I believe I was using us-east-2. In the early days of cross-region inference, less people were using it, and there was basically no monitoring (and/or alerting) on Amazon's side. The cross-region and global inference routing is... odd at times.

A sound banker, alas, is not one who foresees danger and avoids it, but one who, when he is ruined, is ruined in a conventional and orthodox way along with his fellows, so that no one can really blame him. JM Keynes

  That is incredibly appropriate.

Eu-west-1 is miles better and is huge
