N. Virginia is both cheaper and closer to the center of mass of the developed world. I'm surprised Amazon hasn't managed to make it more reliable.
The N. Virginia datacenter has been historically unreliable. I moved my personal projects to the West Coast (Oregon and N. California) and I have seen no significant issues in the past year. N. Virginia is both cheaper and closer to the center of mass of the developed world. I'm surprised Amazon hasn't managed to make it more reliable.
It's degraded performance for some EBS volumes in a single availability zone - isn't this title a bit sensationalistic?
Of course, as soon as I read the report that the issue was confined to one AZ, I looked to move my server over to another AZ. Oh yes, two were full and refused new instances, and then surprisingly, new requests for the other AZs never were received or operated on - and now the console is failing. It's a bit more than just "slow EBS" if that's what you were thinking.
- edit: said ec2 twice in the second sentence, corrected to say ebs.

I believe this is because North Virginia is also their historical first facility.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
From what I'm seeing, if your root disk is on EBS and your SSH keys are there, you cannot SSH into those hosts right now. Also, the availability zones are disparate in terms of what they can support. A great number of my instances are in 1d because of unavailability in others.
Note that the region-1[a b c d & such] designations are randomized per account; my us-east-1d won't (necessarily) be the same as yours or anyone else's.
