LOL making one db service a central point of failure, charge gold for small compute instances. Rage about needing Multi AZ, make the costs come onto the developer/organization. But, now fail on a region level, so are we going to now have multi-country setup for simple small applications?
I thought it was a pretty well-known issue that the rest of AWS depends on us-east-1 working. Basically any other AWS region can get hit by a meteor without bringing down everything else – except us-east-1.
