It is redundant to a degree, but there are varying layers of redundancy.

In this case, it looks like most users of AWS are in need of more geographic redundancy, but in terms of localized data redundancy (term?), it appears AWS is a pretty solid solution.

That's totally right: it's a pretty solid solution and frankly, even with the outage, it's still better than the alternatives based on cost and difficulty of configuration.
