Interesting, I didn't know that so thanks for telling me something new.

But why is this the case? Like, saving costs? Doesn't this recent attack on AWS DC does show that they aren't as safe as previously thought especially in a region of conflict.

Is there any particular reason as to why this is the case?



No idea what the laws are like but maybe data sovereignty? I'm in Australia and certain industries require Australian data to stay in Australia, which until ap-southeast-4 came along meant relying on one AWS region.
