I find it interesting that AWS services appear to be so tightly integrated that when there's an issue in a region, it affects most or all services. Kind of defeats the purported resiliency of cloud services.

Yeah I think there are a number of "hidden" dependencies on different regions, especially us-east-1. It's an artifact of it being AWS' largest region, etc.

Is there any data on which AWS regions are most reliable? I feel like every time I hear about an AWS outage it's in us-east-1.

Anywhere other than us-east-1 in my experience is rock solid.

npm and pnpm are badly affected as well. Many packages are returning 502 when fetched. Such a bad time...

During the last us-east-1 apocalypse 14 years ago, I started awsdowntime.com - don't make me regsiter it again and revive the page.

I remember the one where some contractor accidentally cut the trunk between AZes.
