Welll..AWS-US-EAST-1 only afflict that zone of north america

[–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My understanding is that the zone handles lots of the core functions of AWS, such as authentication, which is why so much was affected by the recent outage

One of the most important functions is that it is the fallback management server. As well as the default server.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Well it’s the region where the infrastructure (servers) are physically located. Many services and websites aren’t going to pay to replicate their servers in all possible AWS regions. Big companies will do that. Smaller companies may only have their servers in one region. It’s cheaper. So if a service or site you use chose only that particular region for their server(s), you will not be able to access their service, regardless of where you are physically located.
