Should edit title to add “in us-east-1”. Other regions are unimpacted.

There are so many outages in us-east-1. I've heard the reason is because that's where they roll out maintenance first or something along those lines. Just look at this list of outages on Wikipedia [1] and scan for US-east-1, North Virginia, or "Northeast" (all the same places).

Just don't use US-EAST-1 as your region.

It is usually the cheapest region though. Maybe this is why

It's the biggest region, if it breaks it breaks in us-east-1.

Source? I see price parity across us-east-* and us-west-2 for every service i've looked at.
