Nah, because European services should not be affected by a failure in the US. Whatever systems they have running in us-east-1 should have failovers in all major regions. Today it's an outage in Virginia, tomorrow it could be an attack on undersea cables (which I'm confident are mined and ready to be severed at this point by multiple parties).

No, it's called "diversification". Applies both to stock/currency/investments as well as enything else :P

Well, except for a lot of business leaders saying that they don't care if it's Amazon that goes down, because "the rest of the internet will be down too."

Dumb argument imho, but that's how many of them think ime.
