Makes me wonder how much use it actually gets if this is the first we’re hearing about it. Edit: Incidentally news of the original strike was posted on HN 5 months ago and flagged, for whatever reason. Why would it be flagged? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47317587
It's been extensively reported on, and any AWS user that clicks on the health dashboard would also have seen it, even if they don't consume from news outlets. As for use it gets: plenty of use, mostly when someone needs to have their worlds close to that area (usually latency or legal reasons).
