1. Planned maintenance in the middle of the night. Even Amazon and Heroku need to do it sometimes. At least we had a forced Postgres version update recently which was 30 minutes of downtime.
2. The latency within AWS is easily as high as US-EU backbone latency. Also, most web apps these days need 2000ms to load all the tracking and advertising crap, so 100ms location latency are negligible in comparison. Plus for most real companies, you'll have one website per country anyway. One server for .com and one server for .eu
