I thought it was a pretty well-known issue that the rest of AWS depends on us-east-1 working. Basically any other AWS region can get hit by a meteor without bringing down everything else – except us-east-1.

But it seems like only us-east-1 is down today, is that right?

Some global services have control plane located only in `us-east-1`, without which they become read-only at best, or even fail outright.
