AWS EC2/RDS Outage in us-east-1

Re:AWS EC2/RDS Outage in us-east-1 by nemothekid on Saturday August 31, 2019 @11:24AM (#20846805)

us-east-1 continues to have continually worse uptime than other regions (for, likely, good reason too, it continues to be the default region).

I've avoided that region and I can't remember the last time I had downtime caused by Amazon.

Also, it is one of the regions that gets new features first, which makes me wonder if it contributes to lower stability.

This is not true. The region where new software is deployed first is different team by team (or service by service).

Perhaps, but I can't recall a product launch that wasn't available in us-east-1 from day 1.

I believe us-east-1 is one of the regions included in the minimal set of regions for a new AWS service to be considered 'available'. If I recall, eu-west-1 is another such region.

us-east-1 is the most likely to have any given new service first.

Is it still the default region? The last two new AWS accounts I provisioned defaulted to us-east-2.
