Yeah because Amazon engineers are hypocrites. They want you to spend extra money for region failover and multi-az deploys but they don't do it themselves.
That's a good point, but I'd just s/Amazon engineers/AWS leadership/ , as I'm pretty sure that there's a few layers of management removed between the engineers on the ground at AWS, those who deprioritise any longer-term resilience work needed (which is a very strategic decisioN), and those those who are in charge of external comms/education about best practices for AWS customers.
Luckily, those people are the ones that will be getting all the phonecalls from angry customers here. If you're selling resilience and selling twice the service (so your company can still run if one location fails), and it still failed, well... phones will be ringing.
What do you mean? Obviously, as TFA shows and as others here pointed-out, AWS relies globally on services that are fully-dependent on us-east-1, so they aren't fully multi-region.
There's multiple single points of failure for their entire cloud in us-east-1.
I think it's hypocritical for them to push customers to double or triple their spend in AWS when they themselves have single points of failure on a single region.
