> Unfortunately, all of the other _regions_ - not AZs, but _regions_, rely on the STS service in us-east-1, which meant that customers which had built around Amazon’s published reliability model had services in every region impacted by an outage in one specific availability zone.
That's not true. STS offers regional endpoints, for example if you're in Australia and don't want to pay the latency cost to transit to us-east-1 [1]. It's up to the user to opt into them though. And that goes back to what I was saying earlier, you need engineers willing to read their docs closely and architect systems properly.
