Honestly my server at home has more uptime than US-East-1

Does your server at home handle similar traffic to that of US-East-1 since you're comparing uptime? Simiarly, my laptop, if I keep it plugged in the wall, and enable httpd on localhost, will surely have better uptime than any of the top clouds. I'd bet that it'd have 100% uptime if I plugged in a UPS and cared for traffic on my local network only.

No but I access my home-server remotely from my university all the time and it hasn't gone down once.

Better uptime than paying for EC2 on AWS US-East-1.

Obviously this approach isn't scalable but it serves me well.

Of course it doesn't. Why are you asking antagonistic questions?

5ish years ago it was common knowledge that us-east-1 is generally the worst place to put anything that needs to be reliable. I guess this is still true?

I don't know about that. It was more like common knowledge that one availability zone in us-east-1 was a problem - you would have to figure out which one it was usually by spinning up instances in all 4 zones (now 6)... and that it was the largest of all regions making it ideal place to put your service if you wanted to be close to other vendors/partners in AWS...

One of our EC2 instances in us-east-1c is unavailable and stuck in "stopping" state after a force stop. Interestingly enough, EC2 instances in us-east-1b don't seem to be affected. The console is throwing errors from time to time. As usual no information on AWS status page.

The affected zone is use1-az4. Whatever that maps to (1a, 1b, 1c) is different per customer.
