That would probably just detonate the US economy.
it absolutely would tank the economy.. the number of businesses just running their shit from that one region is insane.. and practically none of them learned any lessons from previous outages. Turns out it isn't really all that cost-effective if you have to replicate shit across multiple regions once you hit a certain amount of data/traffic.
I know it would take our company down. I don't think they're even replicated across availability zones
It's also the master region for a lot of the control plane, so if it is down (which it was before) then most services kick the bucket.
AWS hosts a lot of AWS infrastructure on AWS lol
Wonder how much loan info is on only one server farm
these are probably stored on a mainframe somewhere running COBOL code
