This is the actual realistic change a lot of people are missing. Multi cloud is hard and imperfect and brings its own new potential issues. But AWS does give you tools to adopt multi region. It’s just very expensive.
Unfortunately DNS transcends regions though so that can’t really be escaped.

us-east-1 went down. Problem is that IAM services all run through that DC. Any code relying on an IAM role would not be able to authenticate.
I didn’t hardly touch AWS at my last job, but listening to my teammates and seeing their code led me to believe IAM is used everywhere.

How is that even legal, I thought there were data export laws in the eu

Nothing to do with moving data. But you can’t move data without authentication.
I want my service to do a $thing. It won’t do $thing without knowing who I am and what permissions I have. The data doesn’t have to cross borders, the service simply needs to function.
Does that make sense? As I said, didn’t do much in AWS, but the principles are sound.
