It was only the one AWS region that went down, us-east-1. Unfortunately that’s the big kahuna. But they’ve got regions and availability zones around the globe. The services that went down due to the outage need to get some cross-region redundancy happening, but that’s the kind of thing that’s never a priority until the moment you need it.
