“ AWS has a much worse uptime than my homeserver.”

I find this extremely hard to believe.

I absolutely do not. I see AWS outages and issues with provisioning all the time at work. Last time my home server went down was because the power went out and we don't have a generator.

i think what gets lost here is how we’re defining uptime. if you’re regularly experiencing ec2 outages that result in your apps and services being unavailable i find it very hard to believe you’re using ec2 correctly.

running a bare one-off ec2 instance on aws is a strange choice if you care about uptime.

the statement doesn’t even make sense. “aws” isn’t a single service and measuring uptime across every aws service is nonsensical. obviously they mean ec2, but even then lumping all regions and azs together is weird.
